Filipe Luís warns Flamengo fans: Evertton Araújo set for Europe | OneFootball

Evertton Araújo continues to receive praise from Filipe Luís

A promising talent from Flamengo’s youth academy, Evertton Araújo keeps catching the eye of coach Filipe Luís. This Sunday (15), in the 2-1 victory over Botafogo, the young player came onto the field during the second half. In a press conference, the red-black coach asked the fans to value the midfielder more.

— He’s a player who has my trust, he knows and feels that, regardless of the times he’s been criticized. We can’t forget that he was the starter in both finals of the Copa do Brasil and did very well. He’s evolving more and more, and he’s a player who is valued less in Brazil than abroad,” he said, before concluding:

— The moment Evertton Araújo leaves for a European club, he’ll be much more valued than here. His style of play is no longer as attractive to the eyes of the fans, but it is to the coaches. In fact, he received numerous offers to leave at the end of the year and we held on to him, because for me he’s a fundamental piece,” Filipe Luís concluded.

Is Evertton Araújo leaving Flamengo?

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, West Ham (ENG) approached Evertton Araújo through their scouts and have started to closely monitor the Cria do Ninho. The English club values the midfielder at around 12 million euros (R$ 74 million).

On the other hand, Flamengo has set a much higher price for Evertton Araújo, considering the young athlete as a prospect for the European market. Despite foreign interest, the club makes it clear that they do not intend to negotiate the player at this time.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Evertton Araújo available, Flamengo is putting the Carioca ‘aside’ and focusing on the Recopa Sudamericana. Furthermore, this Thursday (19), Filipe Luís’ team visits Lanús (ARG) at the Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the intercontinental final.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
