Out of favour at Flamengo, Wallace Yan set for next window move | OneFootball

Club plans to use Wallace Yan transfer to raise cash in the next window

Flamengo had lined up the sale of Wallace Yan to Red Bull Bragantino at the start of the 2026 season. At the time, the player even said goodbye to the Rubro-Negro club on social media. However, talks did not move forward, and the player was reintegrated into the squad.

Now, Flamengo is preparing to negotiate Wallace Yan in the next transfer window. In short, journalist Bruno Andrade reported that the Most Beloved is holding parallel talks with two clubs to sell the forward. The idea is to negotiate the player for at least 5 million euros (around R$ 29.3 million).

That is because Flamengo could reach 7 million (R$ 41.0 million) or 8 million euros (R$ 46.9 million) in negotiations over the sale of Wallace Yan. In fact, the Most Beloved’s desire to negotiate the forward is aimed at hitting the target of adding between 10 million (R$ 58.7 million) and 15 million euros (R$ 88 million) to the Rubro-Negro coffers.

How did the failed negotiation between Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino happen?

In short, at the beginning of January, Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino reached an agreement for around 10 million euros (R$ 62 million at the exchange rate at the time) for the transfer of Wallace Yan. However, the São Paulo club changed the terms of the deal. On that occasion, the team from Bragança started demanding that half the amount be paid through performance-related clauses, which led the Rubro-Negro to reject the offer.

Faced with the deadlock, Flamengo did not allow the forward to travel for medical exams in Bragança Paulista and reintegrated him into the squad. After being left out of the matchday squad for five straight games during the negotiations, the player returned to the list of options, still under Filipe Luís and later under the command of Leonardo Jardim.

Did Wallace Yan have a controversy with Jardim?

Yes! It is worth remembering that Leonardo Jardim left Wallace Yan out of the match against Grêmio in the 15th round of the 2026 Brasileirão. However, in the following match, the coach chose to bring on the forward when Flamengo needed goals against Vitória in the Copa do Brasil.

On that occasion, Flamengo was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil after losing the second leg 2-0 to Vitória. After the match, Leonardo Jardim clarified the ‘controversy’ involving Wallace Yan. In a press conference, the coach stressed: “There was no such exclusion. He only missed one trip. He came on now because Plata couldn’t come,” he said.

Why was Wallace Yan left out of a Brasileirão match?

The match in which Leonardo Jardim left Wallace Yan out of the trip was against Grêmio on May 10. At the time, the coach explained that the player would not add anything to the squad and, for that reason, did not travel to Porto Alegre with the Rubro-Negro delegation.

What is Wallace Yan’s camp’s position?

Still in May, a report by Coluna do Fla found that Wallace Yan’s agents gave the market the ‘green light’ to make offers for the player. As a result, the forward’s representatives made it clear that they also do not rule out the player leaving the club and, moreover, that they are open to any type of negotiation involving the 21-year-old.

When does the next transfer window open?

Finally, the next transfer window opens on July 20 and will remain open until September 11, 2026. The period marks the main mid-year market and takes place right after the end of the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
