With 3 overseas offers, Cebolinha eyes immediate Flamengo exit | OneFootball

Everton Cebolinha is under contract with Flamengo until the end of 2026

Everton Cebolinha is living his final moments in a Flamengo shirt. The forward is only under contract until December 2026, and the deal is set to expire without an agreement for an extension. With that in mind, overseas clubs have stepped up their monitoring of the player's situation.

In total, three foreign clubs have recently made formal pre-contract offers to Everton Cebolinha: Krasnodar of Russia, Colorado Rapids of the United States, and Fiorentina of Italy. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

At this moment, Cebolinha’s representatives are carefully evaluating the proposals. Flamengo’s board, in turn, is open to negotiating the immediate release of the left winger, as long as adequate financial compensation reaches the club’s coffers.

WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES OF CEBOLINHA’S IMMINENT DEPARTURE?

After losing space at Flamengo, the 30-year-old forward had been clearly showing a desire to leave the club. In more than one interview, in fact, Cebolinha stated in no uncertain terms that he needs “a change of scenery.”

— I had already said it, cycles come to an end. I was very happy here, but I need a change of scenery. It’s been almost five years, five seasons. I was very happy, I loved playing for Flamengo, I fulfilled my dream, I didn’t think twice (about playing for the club) — he said after the win against Benfica (POR), during preseason training in July.

— It was a dream of mine and, like I said, I was very happy, from training sessions to matches… I try to enjoy it as much as possible. I want to stay until the end of the year and close out the cycle with a title, God willing — he added.

On the domestic scene, Fluminense and Corinthians had sounded out Cebolinha’s situation. However, the player’s high salary prevented progress in the talks. Flamengo’s board had not previously approached the player’s camp to extend the deal.

WHAT HAS CEBOLINHA’S JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO BEEN LIKE?

Everton Cebolinha joined Flamengo in 2022 and has experienced ups and downs at the Rio club ever since. In total, the No. 11 won two Libertadores titles, one Brasileirão, two Copa do Brasil titles, one Supercopa do Brasil, and three Campeonato Carioca titles. During that span, he scored 21 goals and provided 25 assists.

WHAT IS HIS CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Everton Cebolinha’s last appearance on the pitch came in the 1-1 draw against São Paulo at the Maracanã on July 26. Since that match, the player has not featured again. Even though he was physically fit this Wednesday (19) for the Libertadores, coach Leonardo Jardim chose to leave him out of the squad list.

Therefore, new professional horizons away from Rio de Janeiro await Everton Cebolinha. The outcome of the negotiations should come in the next few weeks, with only the player’s destination in international football still to be decided.
