Neymar calls Everton Cebolinha ‘to urge’ 2027 Santos switch | OneFootball

According to Coluna Do Fla, Neymar phoned Everton Cebolinha to try to persuade the Flamengo forward to join Santos in 2027. Santos are keen to advance a deal, while the winger is under contract only until December 2026.

At present, the expectation is that Cebolinha will stay at Flamengo until his contract runs out.

Neymar has involved himself in talks, seeking to sway the player towards Santos. He is operating almost like a club executive, investing personal funds and helping to shape the squad for next season.

Santos view Cebolinha as a key addition for 2027 and momentum could build in the coming months, particularly as the number 11 has indicated he will not extend his deal with Flamengo. Meanwhile, Neymar’s own future at Santos remains unclear, with his contract also due to expire at the end of 2026.

Cebolinha has personal reasons to consider a move, as he wants to leave Rio de Janeiro for family reasons and is looking for a city that better suits those needs. Botafogo recently made an offer, which he turned down because he does not want to remain in the city.

Signed by Flamengo in 2022, he has mixed standout spells with periods of criticism but has still collected major silverware. His honours include two Libertadores, one Campeonato Brasileiro, two Copas do Brasil, one Supercopa Rei and three Campeonato Carioca titles.
