Botafogo meet Cebolinha's wage demands, forward nears Flamengo exit | OneFootball

How are negotiations between Everton Cebolinha and Botafogo going?

Everton Cebolinha is close to leaving Flamengo. After drawing interest from a few Brazilian clubs, Botafogo has emerged as the likely destination for the forward. At the moment, the General Severiano side has accepted the salary request of Flamengo’s No. 11 and, as a result, is closing in on an agreement.

In the negotiations, Everton Cebolinha asked for R$1.5 million per month to play for Botafogo. With the go-ahead, the Rio club is now ironing out the final details to complete the signing of the forward. The meeting scheduled for this Wednesday (02), in fact, will be crucial to finalize the player’s departure. The information was reported by journalist Matheus Medeiros and confirmed by Rock Hudson from Coluna do Fla.

It is important to note that before Botafogo, Krasnodar (RUS) came very close to signing Everton Cebolinha. However, according to reporting by Rock Hudson from Coluna do Fla, the request for R$2.5 million per month led the Russian team to give up on signing Flamengo’s No. 11.

WAS EVERTON CEBOLINHA ALSO ON THE RADAR OF OTHER TEAMS?

In addition to the two names mentioned, Everton Cebolinha was also on the radar of other Brazilian and foreign clubs. However, the biggest obstacle to the negotiations was precisely the forward’s salary demands.

WHAT IS EVERTON CEBOLINHA’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Everton Cebolinha is in the final stretch of his contract with Flamengo, which expires in December of this year. Since the beginning of 2026, however, the player had already made it clear that he would not renew his deal with the Rubro-Negro.

Even in this situation, Everton Cebolinha remains available to Leonardo Jardim at Flamengo. In the derby against Botafogo last Sunday (30), the forward came on in the second half and provided the assist for Carrascal to score at the Maracanã.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Cebolinha sorts out his future, Flamengo’s squad is preparing for another fixture this season. This Wednesday (02), Mengo faces Mirassol in a postponed Brasileirão round.
