Flamengo target David Romero as Tigre striker visits Rio | OneFootball

Flamengo are aiming to add a centre-forward when the transfer window opens on 20 July, with Tigre’s David Romero among the options. The Argentine is currently in Rio, having shared a beach photo on social media during the World Cup pause.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Romero is a hard-working, mobile striker, recognised for pace and clean finishing. Aged 23, he is viewed as a prospect, valued at five million dollars, R$ 25.1 million, and under contract with Tigre until December 2030.

This season he has played 18 matches, scoring 11 goals and providing two assists. He arrived at Tigre on loan from Talleres in January 2025 and was bought outright in 2026, since when he has become their leading scorer.

The second 2026 window runs from 20 July to 11 September, giving Flamengo roughly two months to strengthen for the run-in.

A new centre-forward has been a priority since the start of 2026, with the plan to add high-calibre cover rather than displace Pedro. Wallace Yan has struggled for minutes under Leonardo Jardim, so Bruno Henrique has frequently covered through the middle.
