Cebolinha: Flamengo shut the door, talks never even got started | OneFootball

Despite rumors of progress, investigation confirms that the tricolor contact was merely a conditions inquiry; given the rival's immediate refusal, negotiations never even began.

Speculations about a possible transfer of Everton Cebolinha to Fluminense gained momentum in recent hours, but the reality behind the scenes is much less complex than the rumors suggest. Flamengo closed the doors to an immediate sale of the forward, ending any possibility of a deal before it even started.

Our report found that Fluminense did indeed reach out to Flamengo's management, but the move was merely a traditional inquiry. The Tricolor's aim was to gather information about the player's situation and understand if there was room for negotiation.

However, the response from the Rubro-Negro was “immediate”. Flamengo's management clearly and directly communicated that they do not intend to sell the forward at this time, considering him an important part of the squad.

Given this emphatic refusal from the rival, Fluminense did not even present an official proposal. Contrary to what was suggested about “financial amounts” and “advanced negotiations,” the conversation did not go beyond the initial inquiry stage. Once informed that Flamengo would not negotiate the player, the Laranjeiras club respected the position and did not formalize any offer, financial or involving player exchanges.

With Flamengo's immediate “no,” Fluminense turns its attention to the market in search of other alternatives for the attack aiming for the 2026 season, while Cebolinha remains in the plans of the Gávea team.
