RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian striker Roger Guedes could leave Al-Rayyan in January 2025 to join Rio de Janeiro giant Flamengo, according to media reports in the South American country.
Guedes is seen as an ideal replacement for Gabriel Barbosa, who announced his desire to leave Flamengo earlier this month, according to news outlet Lance.
It added that Flamengo had already contacted Al-Rayyan with a view to signing Guedes on a permanent deal.
The 28-year-old has scored 33 goals in 48 appearances for Al-Rayyan since his 2023 move from Corinthians. He is contracted to the Qatari club until June 2027.
Flamengo finished the 2024 Brazilian Serie A season in third place, behind champion Botafogo and runner-up Palmeiras. ■
