The striker became one of the highlights of Mengão under Filipe Luís and caught the attention of an English club for a possible transfer

At 20 years old, Wallace Yan continues to attract attention both inside and outside Brazil . After shining at the Club World Cup and gaining international attention, the Flamengo striker has entered the radar of Wolverhampton Wanderers in England , who could make an offer as early as the January 2026 transfer window.
The youngster gained notoriety by becoming the first substitute to score in two consecutive World Cup matches , according to FIFA. The feat solidified his status as a promising player and boosted the confidence of Filipe Luís, who sees the striker as one of the squad's favorites.
For now, there's no official offer for the player. Internally, the club's board seems calm: the release clause for foreign clubs is €60 million (approximately R$387 million) , and the club has no intention of facilitating an immediate exit.
His positive form off the field, however, contrasts with the current situation. In the last five games, Wallace has played only four minutes, coming on late in the match against Juventude. In the matches against Vitória, Grêmio, Estudiantes, and Vasco, he didn't even leave the bench .
After the classic against Vasco, the striker spoke out on social media with a black and white post and the word "process", suggesting frustration , but also patience to win space again.
At the beginning of the season, Wallace started seven matches and was frequently called upon by Filipe Luís. Flamengo 's elimination to Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil, however, marked a turning point: since then, the youngster has lost ground and even sparked debate due to his provocative style on the field.
Between the affection of the fans and the European pressure, the striker's future remains up in the air. Flamengo is banking on his growth, but knows that the next transfer window will be decisive : if Wolverhampton Wanderers, or another European club, comes forward with a concrete offer, the board will have to choose between holding on to the star player or negotiating a multi-million dollar sale.
