Benfica, Monaco and five others ‘monitor’ Flamengo striker Ryan Roberto | OneFootball

Flamengo forward Ryan Roberto, 18, is attracting interest from seven European clubs as his stock rises, and the club are moving to extend his contract.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Benfica, Brentford, Shakhtar, CSKA, Bournemouth, Feyenoord and Monaco are tracking the under-20 standout. He is tied to Flamengo until March 2027 but can sign a pre-contract from August, heightening the need for a new deal.

Flamengo completed his permanent signing from Athletico-PR in 2023, with each club retaining 50% of his economic rights. Flamengo also hold an option to buy a further 20% for R$1.5 million, which has not yet been exercised.

His release clause is set at 50 million euros, around R$293 million at current rates. A meeting with his camp is scheduled for next week.

In 2026, Roberto has made 14 appearances across youth and senior sides, scoring six and assisting two. He finished as Flamengo’s top scorer in the Libertadores Sub-20 with three goals.

He has also made his senior debut this season, coming on after 24 minutes of the second half in a 2-1 defeat to Bangu in the Campeonato Carioca 2026.
