Flamengo continues to protect its young promises well. This time, Ryan Roberto is the name on the rise and celebrating his first professional contract. The jewel is only 16 years old and is being widely discussed as one of the best in its category. Not surprisingly, Rubro-Negro imposed a multimillion-dollar fine.
To protect the star from European greed, or even increase his value, Mengão played big. The termination fine in Ryan Roberto's contract is 50 million euros. In other words, an incredible R$271.3 million. The contract is valid for three years, and therefore ends in the middle of 2027.
The information was published by FlaZoeiro in partnership with the FlaBase profile. But the player himself also published a video on his social networks making his dream come true: signing the contract. Furthermore, he gave his first statements after signing in the caption of the publication:
“Very happy to sign my first professional contract and give another step in my career.
Firstly, I want to thank God and Flamengo for believing in my work.
I would also like to thank my family for always being with me and fighting for this dream and my representatives for all their support. Come on, Flamengo”, writes Ryanzinho.
REINFORCEMENT FOR FILIPE LUÍS
Ryan Roberto at Flamengo is an observation job at the club. This is because the athlete was at Athletico-PR and arrived at the club last year, being picked up by Mengão. Furthermore, there is another interesting fact about the young star. The person who works with Ryan Roberto is Filipe Luís. The player hung up his boots at the end of last year, and in 2024, he was hired by the club to fulfill his dream of being a coach, starting in the Sub-17, Ryan's category Roberto.

Flamengo traveled to Rio Grande do Sul to face Grêmio in the 7th round of the U-20 Brasileirão and returned from there with a bitter comeback defeat to the home team. The red-and-black goal was scored by Pedro Leão, still 8 minutes into the first half. Flamengo now provisionally occupies 7th place, with 10 points.
Before the ball started rolling, a tribute to our coach Mauro Felix, who left us this Wednesday (23). The match had a minute of silence dedicated to him, who in 14 years of work at the base, worked with several Garotos do Ninho who today stand out in football.
After the initial whistle, just 10 seconds into the game, there was a scare for Rayan Lucas, who seemed to feel an injury when he first touched the ball and ended up worrying the team, but after receiving treatment, he soon returned to the field. The opponent's first chance to attack came just 5 minutes in, after a dangerous shot that hit the post, almost taking the first zero off the scoreboard for the home team.
However, in the 8th minute, it was the Garotos do Ninho who scored the first goal. After a move on the right side, Shola crossed to the edge of the area and Pedro Leão kicked hard to score his 10th goal of the season for the U-20 team. Leo Nannetti, in the 11th minute, made a great save after a rebound at the edge of the area. The ball went to the opposing striker and the red-and-black goalkeeper prevented what would have been the equalizer.
Flamengo continued its attacking actions and at 21 minutes, in a beautiful play between Shola and Gusttavo, who with a beautiful backheel pass, left the Nigerian in a position but the defense blocked what could have been Mengão's second goal. At 37 minutes, the clearest chance to increase the score: in a counterattack by Flamengo, Lorran had his shot saved by the goalkeeper and on the rebound, the Grêmio defender managed to recover and blocked the shot by Daniel Sales, who was face to face with the open goal.
At 43 minutes, Leo Nannetti appeared again, making a great save after a strong shot, once again preventing the Gaucho team from equalizing.
In the last move of the first half, Shola led a very quick counterattack on the left and after crossing the ball, Gusttavo kicked and the ball capriciously passed by and went out.
In the second half, Flamengo continued to press at the beginning and in the first minute, after an individual play on the right side, Lorran crossed to the edge of the area and Shola tried to finish but the opposing goalkeeper was there to defend.
In the 6th minute, Grêmio scored the equalizer: a play on the right side by Pedro Gabriel passed Daniel Sales, crossed to Jardiel who, alone, headed and scored for Grêmio, equalizing the score.
At 15, Grêmio turned the game around with a great goal from midfield. Number 7 Tiago took advantage of the fact that goalkeeper Leo Nannetti was ahead of the goal and, from the middle of the field, with a rare shot, managed to score Grêmio's second goal.
Flamengo continued to propose plays but without success, and at 25, after a beautiful pass from Lorran, Shola was face to face with the goalkeeper, who managed to make the save.
At 40, the Grêmio goalkeeper once again saved Flamengo's draw after collecting the ball headed by Wallace Yan and at 45, the same Wallace Yan headed the ball onto the crossbar.
The red-black pressure continued, but without success until the end of the game. Now, Flamengo's next commitment in the Brasileirão Sub-20 is against Internacional, at home, next Wednesday (30).

The good result away from home, achieved last week in Belo Horizonte, is the inspiration for the Garotos do Ninho for the seventh round of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. The team will face Grêmio, this Wednesday (23), at 3 pm, once again away from home, at CT Presidente Hélio Dourado, in Eldorado do Sul, a city in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre.

Rubro-Negro, led by coach Nuno Campos, is in fifth place, with 10 points, three behind leader Juventude. After beating Cruzeiro 1-0 at Toca da Raposa 1, with a goal by Wallace Yan, Flamengo hopes to confirm its good moment and achieve another good result. The team trained on Tuesday morning and will then travel to Porto Alegre, where it will be staying.
It is worth mentioning that the victory over the Minas Gerais team, which until then was leading the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, marked Nuno Campos' debut on the pitch. The Portuguese coach led his first training session on March 25 and since then Flamengo has won two games, drawn one and lost once.
Flamengo continues to have some absences due to medical issues. Goalkeeper Lucas Furtado, defender Carbone, midfielder Pablo Lúcio, and forward Felipe Teresa, who were unavailable in the previous round, remain out of the squad to face Grêmio. Defender João Victor, midfielder João Alves and forward Joshua are among the players who traveled with the professional team for the match between LDU and Flamengo, for the Libertadores, in Quito.
