Evertton Araújo's approach at Flamengo to realise childhood dream

What did Evertton Araújo say in an interview this Tuesday (07)?

Evertton Araújo has raised his level in the first half of the 2026 season and, as a result, is starting to attract interest from some European clubs. Given this situation, the defensive midfielder explained how he shields himself from these thoughts, but made it clear that he dreams of playing on the ‘Old Continent’.

To tell you the truth, of course I think about Europe, it’s every player’s dream. There’s no way around it. But I stay very calm, with a very calm mind, because when it’s meant to happen, it will happen. God is in control of everything. I’m focused on Flamengo and I hope to keep contributing more and more on the pitch and helping in the best way possible -, said Evertton Araújo in a press conference this Tuesday (07).

Defensive midfielder Evertton Araújo has been a crucial piece in Flamengo’s midfield. This season, the player took advantage of the opening left by Erick Pulgar, who was recovering from an injury, and claimed a starting spot alongside Jorginho.

DOES EVERTTON ARAÚJO HAVE AN OFFER TO LEAVE FLAMENGO?

Given this good run of form, Flamengo is already protecting itself against possible moves from Europe for Evertton Araújo. At the moment, the midfielder has received inquiries, but no official offer of any kind.

It is worth noting that Evertton Araújo has a contract with Flamengo until December 2028. In the deal, the Rubro-Negro holds 70% of the midfielder’s economic rights, while the other 30% belong to Volta Redonda.
