Wallace Yan de Souza Barreto (born 8 February 2005), known as Wallace Yan, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Flamengo.
Club career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Wallace Yan began his career with Ferroviária, but was loaned to Flamengo in June 2022.[2] He later signed a permanent deal with the club in February 2023,[3] and helped the under-20 side to win the 2024 U-20 Copa Libertadores (being the top scorer of the competition)[4] and the 2024 Under-20 Intercontinental Cup.
Wallace Yan made his first team debut on 27 January 2024, coming on as a late substitute for Petterson in a 0–0 Campeonato Carioca away draw against Portuguesa-RJ.[5] His Série A debut occurred on 22 September, as he replaced fellow youth graduate Lorran in a 3–2 away loss to Grêmio, as head coach Tite opted to line up several reserve players.[6]
Throughout 2025, the young forward endured a turbulent season and ended up losing ground in Filipe Luís's rotations. Over the course of the year, he appeared in 33 matches, though he was part of the starting lineup in only six of them. Despite lacking his desired consistency, he managed to contribute seven goals and four assists to the Flamengo attack.[7]
International career
In June 2024, Wallace Yan was called up to the Brazil national under-20 team for a period of trainings.[8]
