Flamengo’s Thursday briefing centres on Everton Cebolinha’s next step and preparations for Botafogo. ESPN reports that the forward’s preference is a return to European football.
The number 11 is into his final months at the club. His contract runs to the end of 2026, and the hierarchy do not plan to extend it.
He previously represented Benfica from 2020 to 2022. Domestic options and Saudi Arabia are viewed as secondary by the player.
Flamengo face Botafogo on Sunday 30, in the 25th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. With that in mind, Leonardo Jardim is ramping up work at Ninho do Urubu, with Thursday’s session set for 10:00, Brasília time.
Joshua impressed during the mid-season camp in Portugal, yet has been left out of recent matchday squads. His current absence is regarded internally as part of a natural transition to the senior set-up, and Jardim has assessed his displays with the professionals positively.
