Flamengo pay millions and land 2 signings in Wallace Yan deal, why

How did Flamengo negotiate to buy the remaining economic rights to Wallace Yan?

Flamengo continues to stay active in the search for market opportunities. As a result, the Rubro-Negro negotiated with Ferroviária-SP and now owns 100% of the economic rights to forward Wallace Yan.

Before finalizing the deal, Flamengo owned only 70% of Wallace Yan’s rights, while Ferroviária-SP held the other 30%. To secure that remaining share, Mengão paid the São Paulo club R$ 14 million.

In addition to the million-dollar investment, Flamengo also managed to bring in two reinforcements to join the squad. As such, left back Samuel Baptista and right back Rafael Moraes are now available to the Rubro-Negro youth teams. The information comes from the ‘FlaBase’ portal.

WHAT IS WALLACE YAN’S CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Wallace Yan is one of the main youth academy players who has stood out after being promoted to the senior team. Since his debut for the first team in 2024, the forward has already experienced ups and downs at the club.

One of Wallace Yan’s most memorable moments in a Flamengo shirt came during the Club Super World Cup, in which the forward scored important goals in the competition. As a result, the player scored two goals and became, alongside Jorginho, the team’s top scorer in the tournament held in the United States in 2025.

At the moment, Wallace Yan is trying to make the most of the opportunities given to him by coach Leonardo Jardim to establish himself once and for all at Flamengo. During the mid-season period in Portugal, the forward stood out and, because of that, gained the Portuguese coach’s confidence.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION IN THE 2026 SEASON?

While Wallace Yan tries to cement his place, Flamengo’s squad is focused on recovering from its most recent results after the end of the World Cup. That is because, after the rout over Chapecoense, the Rubro-Negro followed it up with draws against São Paulo at the Maracanã and Internacional in Porto Alegre.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo’s next game in the 2026 season will only take place next Sunday (09), when Mengo hosts Vitória in the Brasileirão. In short, the ball starts rolling at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.

Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show all the details of the match with the most Rubro-Negro on-site coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the clash.
