Although he has yet to make his first-team debut, Roberto has already represented Brazil's Under-17 team. His development is expected to continue in his home country for now. Flamengo currently owns 50% of his rights, with the option to purchase an additional 20% for a certain amount of money.

Flamengo do not feel pressured to sell Roberto this summer. The club has time to consider its options and decide on the best course of action for the young player's future.
