Which Flamengo player is Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) looking to sign?


Ryan Roberto is going through a moment of uncertainty regarding his future at Flamengo. Amid this impasse, the 18-year-old forward has drawn the interest of Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR), which submitted an offer of 8 million euros (around R$ 46 million at the exchange rate) to sign the player.

With this offer on the table, Flamengo opened talks with Shakhtar. José Boto, the club’s technical football director, is leading the negotiations. Despite the high figures involved, the Rubro-Negro’s main intention is to extend Ryan Roberto’s contract.

If the clubs were to reach an agreement, Shakhtar’s initial plan was already to use Ryan Roberto in the first team. At Flamengo, meanwhile, the 18-year-old gem is one of the standout players in the under-20 team. Finally, amid this situation, the player has been temporarily kept out of the Rubro-Negro’s matches in that category.

DOES RYAN ROBERTO HAVE A VALID CONTRACT WITH FLAMENGO?

Forward Ryan Roberto’s contract with Flamengo runs until March 2027. In recent days, Mengão also acquired another 20% of the player’s economic rights, becoming the owner of 70% of his rights. Athletico-PR, meanwhile, retained the other 30%.

WHAT IS RYAN ROBERTO’S CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

It is important to note that Ryan Roberto is regarded as one of the most promising recent talents to come out of Flamengo’s youth academy. In short, this season, the player was the Rubro-Negro’s standout performer in the Under-20 Copa Libertadores campaign, which was played in Quito, Ecuador. Finally, the expectation is that this “saga” involving the 18-year-old will be resolved in the coming days.
