Grêmio star Everton Soares confirms talks with Carlo Ancelotti | OneFootball

After scoring twice against San Jose, Everton ‘Cebolinha’ Soares told reporters on Thursday night that he will remain with Grêmio until at least the summer.

However, his signature has long been desired by European giants, especially given his unbelievable performance at last summer’s Copa América tournament.

Everton has been coincidentally long-linked to Premier League side Everton and in his post-match interview, he revealed that he has spoken with manager Carlo Ancelotti.

“He asked me how I was doing, if I was interested in playing at the club. It’s a great club, a great opportunity, and a great coach too. I would surely learn a lot from him,” said Everton.

“I have a friendship with Richarlison, I was able to play together with him. He ended up knowing about Everton’s interest and called me.

“I was happy, it’s a great club, a great coach too. A coach that whoever plays with him will learn a lot. I am also happy for these contacts.

“Nothing came to Grêmio, but people linked to the club sought me out, approaching, to find out about the interest.

“Even for bureaucratic reasons, nothing got to Grêmio. It’s something that I try not to disturb myself with.

“I dream of playing in Europe, but I can’t let that anxiety get in the way. At the moment it doesn’t materialise, I’m a Grêmio player.

“I have to do my best here. I will always try to honour the shirt, until the last game here.”

The 23-year-old has already earned 14 caps with Brazil.
