Flamengo seek to end player's deal to avoid huge fine, says journalist | OneFootball

Everton Cebolinha is under contract with Flamengo until December of this year

Corinthians are interested in signing forward Everton Cebolinha from Flamengo, whose contract runs until December of this year. As a result, the Rubro-Negro club is trying to speed up the player’s departure through an amicable termination so it does not have to pay a multi-million fine.

According to journalist Thiago Rodrigues, Flamengo are negotiating directly with Everton Cebolinha over a mutual agreement to part ways. That is because Mengão would avoid paying R$ 7 million, which corresponds to the remaining wages until the end of the deal.

Everton Cebolinha is under contract with Flamengo until December of this year and has become a target for several Brazilian clubs, including Corinthians. As such, the forward decided to bring forward his exit from Mengão and informed the Rubro-Negro board of his desire.
