23-year-old player is linked with Flamengo

The transfer window has not opened yet, but Flamengo is already active in the market. As a result, the Mengão decided to speed up negotiations to sign David Romero from Tigre (ARG). The Argentine club has given a positive signal in talks with the Rubro-Negro.

The information comes from Paparazzo Rubro-Negro. David Romero is a promising player in Argentine football who turned 23 in March. So, the striker’s market value is estimated at between 4 and 5 million dollars (R$ 19.7 million and R$ 24.6 million).

Who is David Romero?

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, David Romero is a striker who moves around a lot, which helps create chances. The Argentine is known for his speed and good finishing.

At the moment, the youngster has played 15 matches in the 2026 season, with eight goals and two assists. In Tigre’s most recent match, in fact, the number 9 found the net in a 1-1 draw with Rosario Central (ARG) in the ninth round of the Argentine Championship.

Is David Romero already in Rio de Janeiro?

Out of the World Cup, David Romero posted a photo on Tuesday (16) enjoying the beach in Rio de Janeiro. However, the visit to the Marvelous City is only part of his break, since the deal is not close to being finalized.

When does the transfer window open?

Clubs can negotiate before the transfer window opens, which will happen on July 20. Besides the striker, Fla intends to bring in an attacking midfielder and a left back, but the targets have not yet been defined.

In addition to signings, the Mengão may also sell players. So far, Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) has signed Ryan Roberto in a deal that could reach 10 million euros (around R$ 58 million).

How is Flamengo doing at the moment?

Nine players from the rubro-negro squad are competing in the World Cup. The rest, however, returned from the break last Friday (19). Leonardo Jardim’s players will travel to Portugal for preparations.

In July, the Mengão will hold a mid-season training camp with three friendlies on Portuguese soil. So, River Plate (ARG), Lausanne-Sport (SUI), and Benfica (POR) will be the Rubro-Negro’s opponents.

That way, Fla will feel little lack of match rhythm when official fixtures return. The Rubro-Negro is currently in second place in the Brasileirão and has qualified for the Copa Libertadores round of 16.
