Fluminense and Corinthians eye Cebolinha, but Flamengo pay stalls move

Which teams are interested in Everton Cebolinha?

Everton Cebolinha will not stay at Flamengo after the end of the season. With a contract running until December 2026, the forward can sign a pre-contract in this transfer window. However, although the player has received inquiries, his high salary at Rubro-Negro makes a possible deal difficult.

According to ‘GE’, Fluminense and Corinthians have shown interest in signing Cebolinha. However, the clubs considered the player’s salary too high by Brazilian football standards. It is no surprise, then, that there was an attempt to reduce his wages, but without success.

It is worth noting that Cebolinha’s salary at Flamengo is around R$ 1.2 million per month. Finally, Rubro-Negro is willing to negotiate the No. 11 in this transfer window so as not to lose the player for free at the end of the year.

What did Everton Cebolinha say about leaving Flamengo?

— I had already said it, cycles come to an end. I was very happy here, but I need a change of scenery. It’s been almost five years, five seasons. I was very happy, I loved playing for Flamengo, I fulfilled my dream, I didn’t think twice (about playing for the club) -, he said, before concluding:

— It was my dream and, as I said, I was very happy, from training sessions to the matches… I try to enjoy it to the fullest. I want to stay until the end of the year and close this chapter with a title, God willing -, he concluded, during Flamengo’s mid-season break.

What is the article author’s opinion of Everton Cebolinha?

Everton Cebolinha arrived at Flamengo with high expectations, but he was unable to live up to them on the pitch. Despite a stretch of good performances in 2024, with Tite in charge, the forward did not win over the Rubro-Negro fans,” he said, before concluding: Flamengo will probably end up losing Cebolinha for free at the end of 2026, but the relief on the wage bill will already make it worthwhile for Rubro-Negro. However, it will be necessary to sign a new left winger to rotate with Samuel Lino,” concluded Davi Esteves, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
