Palmeiras deny interest in signing Flamengo forward | OneFootball

Who is the Flamengo forward Palmeiras monitored?

Young Ryan Roberto has drawn attention from clubs all over the world. As a result, there were rumors that Palmeiras was interested in the Flamengo forward. However, the São Paulo club denied wanting the Rubro-Negro academy player.

Before joining Mais Querido, though, Athletico-PR was close to selling Ryan Roberto to Palmeiras’ academy. However, Mengão swooped in on the green-and-white side and signed the player in 2023. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

Palmeiras wanted Ryan Roberto before, but doesn’t want him now?

For ethical reasons behind the scenes, the rival club’s academy directors do not want to get into this dispute with the Rubro-Negro academy coordinators. That is because the 18-year-old player and the club are at an impasse over a contract renewal, with his current deal running until 2027.

So, who is actually interested in Ryan Roberto?

The Flamengo under-20 player has received an official offer from Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR). The European club’s bid, along with the lack of prospects in Flamengo’s senior squad, are some of the reasons behind the deadlock over the contract extension.

Did Ryan Roberto play for Flamengo’s under-20s?

The stalled renewal kept Ryan Roberto out of the match against Cruzeiro in the under-20 Brasileirão. The game took place this Saturday (25) at Gávea stadium, with coverage from Coluna do Fla.
