Player responds to Flamengo's bid for Kaio Jorge of Cruzeiro

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, Fla's number 11 has already spoken out about this situation.

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

Cruzeiro, on the other hand, 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. Thus, the Minas Gerais team wants another type of compensation to negotiate Kaio Jorge.

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

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

After hearing the proposal, Cruzeiro ended up rejecting it. 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, the Flamengo squad is enjoying their vacation days. The team's return is scheduled for January 12, in the morning, at the CT Ninho do Urubu. From that date, the Mengão's pre-season begins.
