Chelsea attacker on Brazil radar again – 20-year-old just returned from loan

Chelsea are seeing fresh interest from Brazil in one of their young forwards. Flamengo are monitoring the situation of Deivid Washington during the current window.

According to Brazilian outlet Coluna do Fla, the Rio de Janeiro club is being forced to look at other options for their attack. Deivid Washington is seen internally as a realistic alternative for the season.

The 20-year-old forward has been under contract with Chelsea since 2023. However, his time in England has brought limited first-team opportunities.

As a result, the striker spent the 2025 season on loan at Santos, the club where he came through the academy. Even there, he struggled to establish himself as a regular starter and returned to Stamford Bridge in September.

The report from Coluna do Fla stresses that Flamengo have not made any formal approach to Chelsea so far. Still, this is not the first time the Brazilian side have shown interest in the player, having explored a move in previous windows under a different board.

For now, Chelsea remain calm over the situation. And Flamengo continue to assess alternatives as their search for a new forward goes on.

The two clubs have good contacts with each other. That could prove beneficial to both in the future, something Chelsea will keep in mind.
