Revealed by Vasco da Gama, Evander declared at the end of last year that he wished to return to Brazilian football, but no negotiations advanced at that time. With a contract with Cincinnati until the end of 2027, the Brazilian is having a good moment in the MLS, where he has 75 direct goal involvements in the last 92 games played.

In the last season, Evander was one of the names chosen to be part of the MLS Team of the Year, the main soccer league in the United States. For 2025, the midfielder will continue defending Cincinnati, the club where he has established himself as one of the main technical references.

Before the change, Evander experienced turbulent moments at Portland Timbers. After suffering a 5-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps, the player took to social media to apologize to the fans and made harsh criticisms of the club's management, stating that the directors "do not keep their word."
