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.

It's final day in the Copa Libertadores. Flamengo faces Estudiantes in La Plata , and for former player and current commentator Zinho, the Red-Blacks will have to contend not only with their opponent but also with the hot weather expected to grip the stadium . A native of Gávea, the commentator acknowledges Mengão's technical superiority but warns that the Argentines come into the match with extra motivation.
Zinho on controversies before Estudiantes vs. Flamengo in the Libertadores: "all of this will be taken to the field"
In the 2-1 victory at Maracanã, Flamengo controlled the game and led 2-0 until the final minutes. It was then that controversy erupted: Plata's sending-off , referee Andrés Rojas's questionable performance, and the red-and-black team's slump in concentration paved the way for Estudiantes' goal.
The move gave the Argentine team some breathing room, and they're now in contention for the final. In Zinho's view, this situation further balances the match: "We're expecting a very even match. A lot of it comes from the pressure that will be present in the match. From the fans, the stadium atmosphere , the goal Flamengo conceded late in the match, and the controversial red card—all of this will be reflected on the field," analyzed the former player.
Zinho also projected a scenario already familiar to Brazilian teams in the Libertadores: catimba. According to him, Estudiantes should rely on provocations , fouls, and rough play to try to balance the odds against Flamengo's superior quality.
" It's important that the team doesn't engage in catimba , because that's the Argentine team's way of equalizing the game. Because, technically, Flamengo is much better," the commentator highlighted about the match in Argentina.

Despite his recognized talent, his start in Europe has been difficult . Given this scenario, rumors have surfaced that Flamengo is eyeing the player .
Jhon Arias, speculated to join Flamengo, on the Premier League: "It's a different kind of football than what I was used to"
In an interview with the As Colombia portal, Arias commented on his first months in English football and made it clear that, despite the difficulties and the enormous fame he achieved in Brazilian football, he is not thinking about leaving Wolves at the moment .
"The Premier League is very complex; it's a different kind of football than what I was used to in Brazil. But I'm happy because it makes me improve, raise my level, step out of my comfort zone, and grow . It's an intense and physical league. On a personal level, it's a good place to evolve," added the Colombian international.
While Arias remains committed to establishing himself at Wolverhampton, Flamengo focuses its attention on the Libertadores . This Thursday (25), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Mais Querido faces Estudiantes, in La Plata, for the second leg of the quarterfinals.
With a 2-1 victory at Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro need only a draw to advance to the semifinals , while the Argentines need to win by two goals to reverse the tie. If the Pinchas win by just one goal, the match will go to penalties.
