Trained at Flamengo, Ryan Roberto signed his first professional contract in 2024 and was promoted to the senior training squad in September. While he awaits his official professional debut, his talents are already widely recognized: a natural right winger capable of playing across the front line, he combines speed, dribbling ability, and a creativity rarely seen at his age. His versatile profile and knack for taking on defenders make him an ideal candidate for clubs that favor an attacking style of play.

PSG, always on the lookout for high-potential young talents, is closely monitoring his development. Barcelona, also interested, views Ryan Roberto as a potential heir to their tradition of technical wingers. A European battle seems to be brewing over the talented young player from Rio.
