Fluminense, Corinthians eye Cebolinha, but Flamengo wages stall move

Which teams are interested in Everton Cebolinha?

Everton Cebolinha will not remain 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. Not surprisingly, there was an attempt to reduce his wages, but without success.

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

Everton Cebolinha arrived at Flamengo with high expectations, but he failed to deliver on the pitch. Despite a stretch of good performances in 2024, with Tite in charge, the forward never won over the rubro-negro fans,” he said, before finishing: 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.
