The saga over the contract renewal between Flamengo and Ryan Roberto had another chapter this Monday (27). That is because the club decided to sideline the forward until the contractual situation is resolved, although the family has already ruled out a new deal with Fla.
After all, there were several meetings with the representatives of the 18-year-old youngster. In one of those meetings, the player’s parents said that Shakhtar Donetsk’s (UKR) proposal is better than Flamengo’s offer. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.
Also according to Venê, the Rubro-Negro believes it has reached its limit by offering Ryan Roberto a first-team standard salary and a long-term contract through 2030. However, the forward would not have guaranteed opportunities with the senior squad.
The impasse led Mengão to stop including the player in the squad, whether for the under-20s or the first team. In addition, his current deal expires in March 2027. Therefore, the youngster can sign a pre-contract and leave for free starting in October this year.
However, the club’s board remains willing to resume renewal talks. The third option is for the buying club to offer a good fee so that the Most Beloved does not end up harmed in this situation.
Without Ryan Roberto’s presence confirmed, Flamengo U-20 will face Bahia this Thursday (30). The match will therefore take place from 3:00 p.m. (Brasília time), in Bahia, in the youth-category Brasileirão.
