West Ham United is close by Just welcomed Tatty CastellanosYet the striker is already being mentioned in transfer discussions elsewhere.

According to Brazilian outlet red-black paparazzoA source close to Flamengo – who recently bought lucas paqueta – has indicated that Castellanos is a name that is appreciated internally at the club. However, that interest comes with clear conditions.

The report emphasizes that “no progress is being made” at this stage. Flamengo are not actively pursuing the Argentine. Nevertheless, the striker is said to fit the attacking profile desired by Filipe Luis and his coaching staff – high pressing, mobility and constant pace in the final third.

West Ham relegation block in the background?

Crucially, the Brazilian side will only consider a move if two factors align: Castellanos would need to be ready to play in Brazil, and West Ham would need to be demoted.

This context makes it more of a cautious stance than a concrete one. Flamengo is planning to sign the forward in the middle of the season or at the end of the year. The priority is a dynamic attacker.

Interestingly, Filipe Luis recently said that Lucas Paqueta could operate as a number nine if necessary. This reduces the urgency in the short term.

But Castellanos, in contrast, has been described as having a long-standing appreciation – even if for now it is entirely imaginary.

what happens next?

For West Ham, this reads as background noise rather than an immediate concern. The Castellanos barely settled in East London. Any scenario involving a departure would depend on the club’s league position and the player’s own intentions.

At this stage, Flamengo’s status is alert. They praise the striker’s profile. But unless circumstances change dramatically, West Ham can focus on integrating their new forwards without distraction.
