Born in São Paulo, Ryan Roberto is a youth product of Flamengo which he joined from Athletico Paranaense in 2023.

Appearing as a prospect of the Carioca club as a prolific goalscorer with the youth categories, he started playing with the under-20 during the 2025 season, while also gaining international attention.

He was first called to Flamengo's first team by Filipe Luís in September 2025, with injuries however delaying his debut.
