Shakhtar signed Brazilian forward Ryan Roberto

Shakhtar has added Brazilian striker Ryan Roberto to its squad. The parties signed a contract that will be valid for the next five years. Previously, the Donetsk club will buy 90% of the economic rights to the player, while Flamengo will retain the right to 10% of the amount of the player's possible future transfer. Ryan has played in the system of the Brazilian giant since 2023. In the 2026 season, the forward played two matches for Flamengo's main team, playing a total of 30 minutes, but did not perform well. Instead, at the youth level, the attacker showed much better statistics. As part of the U-20 team, he took part in 12 matches, in which he scored five goals and recorded one assist. Earlier it was reported that for the young talent of Sao Paulo.
