Botafogo sought information about the current situation of Everton Cebolinha, Flamengo’s forward. Even with the interest, the team from General Severiano will not have an easy task in trying to sign the Rubro-Negro number 11 in this transfer window.
Everton Cebolinha has already decided that he will not stay at Flamengo when his contract expires in December this year. However, at this moment, the forward had made it clear that his priority was a return to European football.
However, according to reporter Rock Hudson from Coluna do Fla, Botafogo accepted Everton Cebolinha’s salary demands, around R$1.5 million, and is close to landing the forward. To finalize the deal, only details remain to be discussed in a meeting scheduled for this Wednesday (02).
In addition to Botafogo’s interest, Everton Cebolinha was also on the radar of other Brazilian clubs. At the moment, the talks ended up stumbling over the current wages the number 11 earns at Flamengo. It is worth noting that in recent weeks, the player was close to joining Krasnodar (RUS), but the talks ultimately did not move forward.
Even though he already knows he will not remain, Everton Cebolinha is still available to Leonardo Jardim. In some matches, the number 11 was even left out due to tactical decisions, but in Sunday’s derby (30) against Botafogo, the player came on in the second half and provided the assist for Carrascal’s goal.
While Botafogo is interested in Everton Cebolinha, Flamengo has been active behind the scenes and signed two players: forwards Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas. The duo, in fact, was officially announced this Tuesday (01) and is training with their teammates at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Later this afternoon, Flamengo also received the news that Plata failed his medical exams at Dynamo Moscow (RUS). Given the situation, the Ecuadorian will return to Brazil and resume training with Rubro-Negro later this week.
Flamengo’s next match takes place this Wednesday (02), in a rescheduled Brasileirão fixture. The opponent will be Mirassol, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will bring all the details of the match with on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
