With 8 European clubs keen, Ryan Roberto decides future after Flamengo row | OneFootball

Ryan Roberto is on the radar of European clubs

Sidelined from Flamengo’s under-20 team due to a failure to reach an agreement over a contract renewal, Ryan Roberto has decided what he will do. The youngster will see out his contract and will not extend his deal with the club. The 18-year-old winger is under contract until March 2027, meaning he can sign a pre-contract agreement for free in September.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Ryan Roberto will remain sidelined by the club unless Flamengo reverses its decision to keep the youngster out. Therefore, the player is expected to leave the team for free, while his representatives receive offers from several clubs around the world.

Also according to information obtained by Coluna do Fla, negotiations over a renewal with Flamengo are over. Talks are underway with Lyon (FRA), Ajax (NED), Monaco (FRA), Benfica (POR), CSKA (RUS), Shakhtar (UKR), Torino (ITA) and Roma (ITA).

WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND RYAN ROBERTO, AFTER ALL?

Ryan Roberto’s representatives do not want to renew with Flamengo because they believe the youngster will not have room in the professional team. The player’s camp asked for a career plan for the youngster; the Rubro-Negro promised that the player would be promoted to the first team in 2027, but even so, that was not enough to convince the winger to stay at Mengo.

From the moment Flamengo understood that Ryan Roberto’s contract would not be renewed, the club decided to sideline the youngster from the under-20 team. As a result, he has been training alone at Ninho do Urubu. The player’s last match took place on April 22, against Fluminense, in the under-20 Brasileirão.

In recent weeks, Flamengo turned down offers from Shakhtar Donetsk, CSKA and Lille (FRA), all worth around 10 million euros (R$59 million at the current exchange rate). The Rubro-Negro believes the youngster is worth more than that, even with the prospect of losing the player for free soon.
