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.

“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 officially announced on Wednesday night (02) the dismissal of coach Cleber dos Santos, who until then was in charge of the under-20 team. Even after winning the Libertadores in the category last month, the coach was dismissed from the club, making room for the arrival of Portuguese Nuno Campos.


The decision was communicated through an official note : “Coach Cleber dos Santos is no longer part of the technical committee of Flamengo's youth teams. The club thanks him for his services and wishes him success in the continuation of his career” , informed the Rubro-Negro's communications department.


CLEBER DOS SANTOS WAS IMPORTANT BEFORE LEAVING THE CLUB


In addition to the continental title, Cleber played a relevant role in the 2025 season by leading Mais Querido's alternative team during the first rounds of the Campeonato Carioca. Under his command, the team scored crucial points to win the Taça Guanabara. “We would have liked to have had better results, but it was a valuable experience for the players and contributed to their development,” said the coach.

To replace Cleber dos Santos, Flamengo opted to hire Portuguese coach Nuno Campos , a 49-year-old who previously worked for Toluca in Mexico. He takes charge of the under-20 category with the mission of maintaining the team's high competitive level.


The new commander is not arriving alone. Along with him, Gonçalo Cruz was announced as assistant coach. On Tuesday (25), Nuno Campos already led his first activity at CT Ninho do Urubu, starting work for the 'Clássico dos Milhões' this Friday (28).

WHO IS NUNO CAMPOS

Nuno Campos has experience in European football, working as an assistant coach at several clubs on the continent. With a modern style of play and backed by his relationship with José Boto, Flamengo 's football director, he has carte blanche to implement his methodology at the club's youth academy.
