20 goals and 14 assists! The 17-year-old Brazilian forward prodigy emerged

For 17-year-old Brazilian forward star Ryan Roberto, 2025 is a significant year. In 33 games he participated in for Flamengo U17, he was in a hot state, completely exploded, and contributed stunning data of 20 goals and 14 assists. With such amazing data, Ryan Roberto has emerged in the talented Brazilian football world.

Ryan Roberto plays as a left winger, has extraordinary talent, superb skills, fast speed, sufficient explosive power, can pass, shoot, and break and grab. What is even more commendable is that he can not only attack and transport shells for the team on the offensive end, but also actively participate in steals on the defensive end and contribute his strength to the team's defense. This characteristic of both offense and defense gives him super tactical value.

With the emergence of Ryan Roberto in the flamenco youth team, he has gradually become the target of many European giants. According to Brazilian media Global Sports, five European giants including Barcelona, Ajax, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea have turned their attention to this young Brazilian genius and are actively operating, hoping to recruit him. Especially the two European giants Barcelona and Ajax are even more eager to move Ryan Roberto. As a traditional giant in La Liga, Barcelona has always been famous for cultivating and introducing young and talented players. If Ryan Roberto can join Barcelona, he will undoubtedly have a better growth environment and broader development space. Barcelona's tactical system focuses on technology and transmission control, which complements Ryan Roberto's technical characteristics. If he joins Barcelona, he will definitely be able to get further improvement.

Ajax is a giant team in the Eredivisie. It is famous all over the world for its unique youth training system and ability to cultivate young players. It is known as the "star-making factory". Many football superstars came from Ajax. For the young Ryan Roberto, Ajax is naturally a good choice.

Although many European giants are eyeing Ryan Roberto, it may not be easy for him to leave Flamenco. Flamengo first-team coach Felipe Luis once coached Ryan Roberto during his youth training, and he highly recognized the young player's potential and conditions.

Although Felipe Louis has not given Ryan Roberto a chance to make his debut in the first team, this does not mean that he is not valued. Instead, this may be the coach’s hope that he will be able to get more training in the youth team and be more prepared for the first team in the future. After all, the first team's game intensity and competitive pressure are far better than the youth team. Only by having enough strength and psychological preparation can we gain a foothold in the first team.

I believe that with Ryan Roberto's continuous growth and progress, his debut in the first team is not far away. Whether it is staying in Flamenco to continue to grow, or joining European giants to embark on a new journey, this 17-year-old Brazilian forward genius prodigy should have a very bright future.
