Player reacts after being included in Flamengo’s Kaio Jorge deal

What did Everton Cebolinha say about a possible departure from Flamengo in this transfer window?

Flamengo is trying in every way to reach a common ground with Cruzeiro to sign Kaio Jorge. In one of the attempts, the Rubro-Negro even signaled the release of Everton Cebolinha to the Minas Gerais team. In light of this, Flamengo's number 11 has already spoken out about the situation.

According to information from the ‘UOL’ portal, Everton Cebolinha did not oppose being involved in a negotiation between Flamengo and Cruzeiro. The forward even saw this change positively, especially for the opportunity to work again with coach Tite.

Cruzeiro, however, is considering other forms of negotiation with Flamengo. This is because the Minas Gerais team knows that Everton Cebolinha can sign a pre-contract with any team from mid-year, as his contract with Mengo runs until the end of 2026. Therefore, the Minas Gerais team wants another type of compensation to negotiate Kaio Jorge.

WHAT WAS FLAMENGO'S OFFER TO CRUZEIRO FOR KAIO JORGE?

In the latest attempt for Kaio Jorge, Flamengo sent the following offer to Cruzeiro: 32 million euros (around R$ 205 million). This includes 24 million euros (R$ 124 million) in cash and the inclusion of Everton Cebolinha, valued at 8 million euros (R$ 51 million).

After hearing the proposal, Cruzeiro ended up rejecting it. At the moment, for a negotiation of this kind to happen, Flamengo would have to pay 30 million euros (R$ 191 million) and include Luiz Araújo in the transaction. However, the Rubro-Negro has no interest in parting with number 7.

HOW IS FLAMENGO'S SQUAD FOR THE 2026 SEASON?

While the management is looking for options in the market, Flamengo's squad is enjoying their vacation days. The team's return is scheduled for January 12th, in the morning, at the CT Ninho do Urubu. From this date, the pre-season for Mengão begins.
