Fluminense eye Cebolinha, Flamengo act to keep him after interest | OneFootball

Fluminense remains attentive to market opportunities, and a name that was on their radar, Everton Cebolinha, now has his contractual situation at Flamengo under discussion. The club from Gávea, after learning of Fluminense and CSKA Moscow's interest in the forward, began talks to renew the player's contract, which ends in December 2026.

Fluminense's pursuit of Cebolinha demonstrated the club's desire to strengthen its squad with high-profile names. However, Flamengo quickly acted to "block" any possibility of a transfer to their rival, ensuring the player's stay.

It's worth noting that Cebolinha was even part of a recent negotiation by Flamengo for Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro. The red-black club offered €24 million (R150 million) plus the forward in an attempt to sign the Cruzeiro striker, a proposal that was rejected.

Flamengo's move to renew aims not only to value the player but also to prevent Cebolinha from leaving the club for free at the end of his contract, and especially to stop him from strengthening a direct rival at no cost. Fluminense, meanwhile, continues to monitor the market, always looking for opportunities to strengthen the squad.
