Barcelona are being credited with interest in 17-year-old Flamengo winger Ryan Roberto.
The teenager has shone with the Brazilian team’s Under-17 side, scoring 20 goals and 14 assists in 33 matches so far in 2025.
According to Globo, his form has seen him attract attention from both Barcelona and Dutch giants Ajax.
Roberto is also expected to be called up to Brazil’s Under-17 team for the World Cup where he will have another chance to shine.
There’s also a suggestion Roberto could be handed a call-up to Flamengo’s first team squad soon. The Brazilian team are currently managed by former Atletico and Chelsea star Filipe Luis who has been happy to give youngsters a chance this year.
Roberto is known for his pace and skill as well as his ability to score goals. He plays out wide on the wing but loves to cut inside and attack.
