Bragantino director reveals end of talks to sign Flamengo’s Wallace Yan | OneFootball

Wallace Yan was close to leaving Flamengo in 2026

Red Bull Bragantino was very close to announcing the signing of Wallace Yan in this transfer window. However, after the São Paulo team failed to reach an agreement with Flamengo, the talks were terminated. The club's CEO, Diego Cerri detailed the reason that led to the end of the negotiation.

— Wallace Yan is one of the players I made some contact with, that we mapped, we talked to Flamengo, we even discussed values, but unfortunately, it didn't progress -, he said, before concluding:

— He is an interesting player, in an age profile that you know Red Bull Bragantino seeks, young, playing in a top team, who has already won titles. He is an interesting player, but we couldn't agree on values and close the deal -, concluded Diego Cerri.

Why didn't the negotiation between Flamengo and Bragantino progress?

Initially, Bragantino offered a fixed amount for the signing of Wallace Yan. However, the club later changed its stance and wanted to split: half fixed and half in goals. As a result, Flamengo withdrew from the talks. Additionally, Mengão wanted a percentage of a future sale, but the São Paulo team didn't like it and ended the discussions.

What is Wallace Yan's current situation?

Wallace Yan hasn't played for Flamengo for three matches. This is because, before facing Botafogo in the Carioca, the young player experienced muscle pain. However, the forward is already in the process of physical reconditioning and may be available for the game against Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (26).

What is Flamengo's next game?

Without certainty of Wallace Yan's presence, Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (26) to face Lanús in the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The decisive match takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (closed channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
