Everton Cebolinha did not end up transferring to Krasnodar (RUS). As a result, the Flamengo forward’s continued stay has sparked the interest of Brazilian clubs such as Grêmio, Atlético-MG, and São Paulo. That is because there is a possibility of a contract termination between the player and the Most Beloved.
However, the Rubro-Negro would only agree to let Cebolinha leave for free to a team outside Brazil. Still, there are no offers on Flamengo’s table for the No. 11. The contract between the club and the player expires in December. The information comes from journalist Raisa Simplicio.
ESPN found that the winger’s preference is to return to European football. It is worth remembering that the forward wore Benfica’s shirt between 2020 and 2022. Therefore, markets such as Brazil and Saudi Arabia are being left in the ‘background’ by the player.
While the European offer does not arrive, Cebolinha is free to sign a pre-contract with any club. That way, the forward would leave the Most Beloved for free at the end of his deal. However, to have the player immediately, a team would have to submit an offer to Mengo.
Flamengo announced the signing of Everton Cebolinha in June 2022, after paying around 14 million euros (R$ 88 million at the exchange rate at the time) to Benfica. Since then, the winger has totaled 191 matches, 21 goals, and 25 assists.
In addition, Cebolinha has won nine titles wearing the Flamengo shirt. They are: two Libertadores (2022 and 2025), two Copa do Brasil titles (2022 and 2024), one Brasileirão (2025), one Supercopa do Brasil (2025), and three Carioca titles (2023, 2024, and 2025).
Cebolinha has not taken the field wearing the Flamengo shirt for more than a month. The forward’s last match in the Sacred Jersey was the 1-1 draw with São Paulo on July 26, in the 20th round of the Brasileirão.
Since then, Flamengo have played six matches in the 2026 season, between Brasileirão and Libertadores fixtures, and Cebolinha has not been used by coach Leonardo Jardim. Therefore, the player is seeking an agreement with a new club to leave the Rubro-Negro.
Any scouting team that looked into Cebolinha’s injury history would back out of the signing. But if Grêmio, Atlético-MG, and São Paulo are interested, I’m not the one who’s going to object,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
