Has Flamengo sold Ryan Roberto? We checked! | OneFootball

Ryan Roberto is nearing the end of his contract with Flamengo

Flamengo fans were surprised by the news of Ryan Roberto’s possible sale to Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) for 10 million euros, that is, R$ 58.75 million at the current exchange rate. So, Coluna do Fla looked into the matter.

According to reporter Mônica Alves, Flamengo has not yet finalized Ryan Roberto’s sale. The situation is progressing, but the deal still has some pending issues. Also according to the Coluna do Fla journalist, the situation should have updates this Saturday (13).

Late this Friday afternoon (12), journalist Venê Casagrande, from SBT, reported that Ryan Roberto has been sold. The reporter stated that Flamengo will retain 10% of the rights to a future sale of the 18-year-old forward. In addition, the journalist said that the contracts have already been exchanged so the player can join his new club.

WHAT IS RYAN ROBERTO’S CONTRACT SITUATION WITH FLAMENGO?

Ryan Roberto has a contract with Flamengo until March 2027 and has said he will not renew it. The youngster is demanding a career plan, with guarantees that he will be used in the senior squad. However, the board only replied that the youngster would be part of the first-team squad in place of Everton Cebolinha, who is expected to leave the club in December.

Unhappy with the response he received, Ryan Roberto’s camp decided to listen to offers on the market. After all, in October, the youngster can already sign a free pre-contract with any other club. Therefore, a sale at this point would already be considered ‘profit’ for Flamengo.

WHICH TEAMS ASKED ABOUT RYAN ROBERTO?

Still according to information from Mônica Alves, of Coluna do Fla, eight teams asked about Ryan Roberto’s situation. They are: Lyon (FRA), Ajax (NED), Monaco (FRA), Benfica (POR), CSKA (RUS), Shakhtar (UKR), Torino (ITA), and Roma (ITA).

HOW LONG HAS RYAN ROBERTO BEEN OUT OF ACTION?

Because of the issues involving Ryan Roberto’s contract renewal with Flamengo, the club’s board decided to sideline the player in April. As a result, the youngster continues training at an alternative time at the Ninho do Urubu training center, outside the under-20 team’s plans. In an interview this week with journalist Venê Casagrande, Mengo academy manager Alfredo Almeida spoke about the youngster.

— Ryan’s case has been handed over to the professional football department. I will be happy to speak, institutionally, about Ryan Roberto, to give my view on the whole process, and I promise I will share it. But today it is entirely in the hands of the professional football department. I do not want to speak about it, and I hope my request will be respected. The case is above the academy director —, Alfredo began.

— As for the player, he is doing all the training sessions asked of him. He is a player who, as academy director, from June 2025 to June 2026, fulfilled everything I asked of him as a Flamengo player. I hope the future is best for Flamengo, for Ryan Roberto, and for everyone involved. May everything work out for him in life and for Flamengo —, he concluded.
