Flamengo has been consolidating its youth academy strength with impressive achievements, including two consecutive U-20 World Cup titles. In one of these championships, Flamengo defeated Barcelona on penalties , reinforcing the quality of its young talent.
Ryan Roberto , a 17-year-old striker, is currently considered one of Flamengo's top prospects. With 21 goals in 39 matches, according to Globo Esporte, the youngster is attracting interest from European soccer giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Ajax.
Flamengo is protecting its talents, but knows that retaining Ryan long-term could be challenging given his potential. The youngster's refined technique, speed, and efficient finishing impress both at home and abroad.
The athlete holds 50% of the economic rights with Flamengo , and there is an option to purchase an additional 20%, valued at approximately R$1.5 million . Ryan arrived at Rubro-Negro in 2023, won the Brasil Soccer Cup U-15 and stood out in several tournaments, including the Adidas Cup at Ninho do Urubu.
In addition to his club achievements, Ryan Roberto was called up to the Brazilian youth national team in 2023. His release clause abroad is €50 million (R$316 million), reflecting the value Flamengo places on its jewel.
Mengão stands out in the Championship not only because it is at the top of the competition, but also because it has outstanding numbers in all phases of the game.
