Although the team still remains bottom of the competition, the gap to the teams above has narrowed to just two points, offering a glimmer of hope for the team on the road ahead.

The player also mentioned that he can now communicate in English to interact with his teammates.

"I live in Manchester, where there are a lot of Brazilians. I can even go to restaurants that serve Brazilian food, which is something I I can't give up. I'm very happy with it personally. Everyone on the team is my friends, but most of them only speak English, not even Spanish is common. However, I'm already feeling comfortable expressing myself in English", concluded the Garoto do Ninho.

Flamengo continua ativo nos bastidores para ajustar o elenco para a sequência da temporada 2026. A mais nova movimentação do Departamento de Futebol é a saída definitiva do atacante Wallace Yan. O jovem, formado nas categorias de base do clube, teve sua venda encaminhada para o Red Bull Bragantino, rival direto do Rubro-Negro na disputa da Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro.

A negociação está em estágio final, restando apenas detalhes burocráticos para o anúncio oficial. O acordo entre os clubes já foi selado, faltando agora a assinatura do contrato por parte do atleta para formalizar a transferência para a equipe do interior paulista.

VALORES MILIONÁRIOS

Segundo informações divulgadas pelo jornalista Benjamin Back, o modelo de negócio envolve a venda majoritária dos direitos do jogador. O Flamengo aceitou negociar 70% do passe de Wallace Yan, optando por manter 30% sob seu domínio. Essa estratégia visa garantir uma fatia significativa de lucro em uma eventual venda futura do atleta para o futebol europeu, considerando o potencial de valorização no projeto da Red Bull.

Em relação às cifras, o jornalista Gabriel Reis (do canal Paparazzo Rubro-Negro) apurou que a transação gira em torno de 10 a 12 milhões de euros. Convertendo para a moeda nacional, o montante aproxima-se da casa dos R$ 70 milhões. O jogador, inclusive, já estaria organizando sua mudança para Bragança Paulista, indicando que o desfecho deve ocorrer nos próximos dias.

FLA LIGA ALERTA NO ATAQUE

A venda de Wallace Yan impacta diretamente o planejamento do ataque rubro-negro para 2026. Com a saída do jovem, o elenco vê as opções para a referência ofensiva, o tradicional camisa 9, ficarem escassas. Atualmente, o técnico conta apenas com Pedro como centroavante de ofício e Bruno Henrique, que pode atuar improvisado na função de falso 9.
