Called up for Brazil national team training, Léo Nannetti attracts interest from European clubs

Flamengo has four players called up to play in the World Cup and one academy youngster to help complete training sessions. That young player is 18-year-old goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, who will join the group to help Carlo Ancelotti’s squad prepare. The youngster not only impresses the CBF, but is also attracting interest from European clubs.

According to ESPN, some teams from the Old Continent are willing to pay 5 million euros (R$ 29 million at the current exchange rate) for Léo Nannetti as early as the next transfer window, which opens in the middle of the year. The names of the clubs, however, have not yet been revealed.

Léo Nannetti is under contract with Flamengo until 2029, which leaves the club in a secure position amid the expected approach from suitors in the coming weeks. The goalkeeper is the undisputed starter for the under-20 side and the fourth-choice keeper for the senior team, behind Agustín Rossi, Andrew and Dyogo Alves.

WHO IS LÉO NANNETTI?

A product of Flamengo’s academy since the age of eight, Nannetti has made more than 300 appearances for the club and completed his entire development at Ninho do Urubu. The 1.93m goalkeeper had already been closely monitored by the national team coaching staff and has earned several call-ups to youth national teams.

Léo Nannetti gained national prominence especially after the 2025 U-20 Club World Cup title. In the final against Barcelona (ESP) at the Maracanã, the goalkeeper was one of Flamengo’s standout players, making important saves in regular time and stopping two penalties in the shootout that secured the category’s second intercontinental title.
