What did Evertton Araújo say in an interview this Tuesday (07)?


Evertton Araújo has raised his level of performance in the first half of the 2026 season and, as a result, is beginning to attract interest from some European clubs. Given this situation, the defensive midfielder explained how he shields himself from these thoughts, but made it clear that he dreams of playing on the ‘Old Continent’.

To tell you the truth, of course I think about Europe, it’s every player’s dream. There’s no way around it. But I stay very calm, with a very calm mind, because when it’s meant to happen, it will happen. God is in control of everything. I’m focused on Flamengo and I hope to keep contributing more and more on the pitch and helping in the best way possible -, said Evertton Araújo in a press conference this Tuesday (07).

Defensive midfielder Evertton Araújo has been a crucial piece in Flamengo’s midfield. This season, the player took advantage of the opening left by Erick Pulgar, who was recovering from an injury, and earned a starting spot alongside Jorginho.

DOES EVERTTON ARAÚJO HAVE AN OFFER TO LEAVE FLAMENGO?

Given this strong run of form, Flamengo is already protecting itself against possible approaches from Europe for Evertton Araújo. So far, the midfielder has received inquiries, but no official offer of any kind.

It is worth noting that Evertton Araújo is under contract with Flamengo until December 2028. In the contract, the Rubro-Negro owns 70% of the midfielder’s economic rights, while the other 30% belongs to Volta Redonda.

I’ve been improving more and more in this aspect of playing further forward, getting on the ball more, and I think that’s what has been helping me more and more” DAY TO DAY “Our day-to-day is very good. The whole squad has the same mindset; we came here to do our best, improve, and keep the competitions going with the maximum from each person” TRAINING ROUTINE OUTSIDE FLAMENGO “This outside preparation is very important to me. Like you said, during the vacation I had guidance and did as much as possible to take care of myself and come back better. That made all the difference, it’s part of our daily routine.

I’m going to work for that. I’m very happy that my name is already starting to appear in a possible call-up for the 2030 World Cup.
