Cebolinha done at Flamengo? Club confirms release, Libertadores miss | OneFootball

Flamengo reported that Cebolinha returned to Rio de Janeiro after the match against Remo in the Brasileirão

Everton Cebolinha will miss Flamengo’s match against Independiente del Valle (ECU) on Thursday (10). This Monday (07), before the trip to Ecuador, the club announced that the player was released to “handle personal matters.”

According to journalist Raisa Simplício, the forward will no longer wear Flamengo’s shirt. That is because Krasnodar (RUS) has resumed talks for Cebolinha, and the negotiations could have a positive outcome in the coming hours. As a result, the Russian club has emerged as the most concrete option among the player’s possible destinations.

In this way, negotiations with Krasnodar are gaining momentum just as Flamengo confirms the forward’s release. Therefore, a quick resolution is in both parties’ interest, since the player’s contract with Rubro-Negro is close to expiring.

WHAT ARE CEBOLINHA’S NUMBERS THIS SEASON?

This season, Cebolinha has made 25 appearances in Flamengo’s colors and scored three goals. As such, the numbers reflect the forward’s reduced role in the team managed by Leonardo Jardim. Even so, the player had still been an attacking option for Flamengo until now.

WHAT HAS CEBOLINHA’S JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO BEEN LIKE?

Cebolinha joined Flamengo in June 2022 and is now in his fifth season with the Rio-based club. However, the forward had already said in February that the club’s board had not approached him to discuss a contract renewal. After that, some Brazilian clubs, such as Santos and Botafogo, made inquiries about the player.

WHICH MARKETS ARE OPEN FOR CEBOLINHA’S DEPARTURE?

The player’s priority is a move abroad. Therefore, the Russian market appears to be a plausible possibility at the moment, since the transfer window remains open until September 10.

Besides those options, Portugal and Greece also still have their transfer windows open until the 15th of this month. In this way, the player’s camp is assessing different scenarios before making a final decision on his next destination.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Without Cebolinha, Flamengo face Independiente del Valle this Thursday (10) in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. Therefore, the match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Ecuador, with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
