Vasco eye Everton Cebolinha, but Flamengo won't deal with rivals | OneFootball

The No. 11’s contract with Flamengo runs until December 2026

Everton Cebolinha is one of the names stirring the transfer market in recent days. After all, the forward has a contract with Flamengo until December 2026 and it will not be renewed. As a result, Vasco entered the race for the player, but received a negative response from Fla.

According to journalist Lucas Pedrosa, Flamengo is not willing to release Cebolinha to Vasco. Thus, despite the São Januário club’s interest in signing the forward, it is difficult for the deal to move forward because of the Rubro-Negro’s stance.

Besides Vasco, other Brazilian teams are also monitoring Cebolinha’s situation. Santos, São Paulo, and Grêmio are closely following the next steps in the negotiations. In this way, the domestic market remains attentive to the forward’s future.

Why did Cebolinha turn down Botafogo?

Botafogo was one of the teams that held talks with Cebolinha in recent days. The No. 11 even asked for R$1.5 million per month to play for the club from General Severiano. However, the player himself changed his mind and rejected the Rio club’s offer, as he wants to return overseas.

Cebolinha almost joined Krasnodar

Cebolinha came close to joining Krasnodar (RUS) in this transfer window. The negotiations had progressed significantly before the deal suddenly fell through. That was because president Sergey Galitsky halted the talks and overruled the board from proceeding with the agreement for the forward.

As a result, the Russian interest ran into a direct decision from the club’s top brass. However, the episode reinforces that Cebolinha remains an option being considered even outside South America.

Cebolinha reaches 12 appearances for Flamengo in the Brasileirão

Cebolinha took the field in Flamengo’s 2-0 win over Mirassol last Wednesday (02). As a result, the forward reached 12 appearances for Fla in the 2026 Brasileirão. Therefore, a regulatory detail gains extra importance in the competition’s upcoming rounds.

After all, if Cebolinha makes his 13th appearance for Flamengo in the Brasileirão, he will no longer be able to play for another team in the competition this year. Thus, the rule could directly influence a possible transfer to Vasco or another club in the country.

When did Cebolinha join Flamengo?

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 (POR). Since then, the forward has recorded 192 appearances, 21 goals, and 25 assists.
