Filipe Luís warns Flamengo fans: Evertton Araújo set for Europe | OneFootball

Evertton Araújo continues to receive praise from Filipe Luís

A promising talent from Flamengo’s youth academy, Evertton Araújo continues to catch the eye of coach Filipe Luís. This Sunday (15), in the 2-1 victory over Botafogo, the youngster came onto the field during the second half. In a press conference, the red-and-black coach asked fans to value the midfielder more.

— He is a player who has my trust, he knows and feels that, regardless of the times he has been criticized. We can’t forget that he was the starter in both games of the Copa do Brasil final and performed very well. He is evolving more and more, and he is a player who is valued less in Brazil than abroad,” he said, before concluding:

— When Evertton Araújo moves to a European team, he will be much more valued than he is here. His style of play is no longer as attractive to the fans, but it is to the coaches. He received numerous offers to leave at the end of the year and we held onto him, because for me he is a key player,” Filipe Luís concluded.

Is Evertton Araújo leaving Flamengo?

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, West Ham (ENG) reached out to Evertton Araújo through their scouting department and has since started closely monitoring the Cria do Ninho. The English club values the midfielder at around 12 million euros (R$ 74 million).

On the other hand, Flamengo has set a much higher price for Evertton Araújo, considering the young athlete a promising prospect for the European market. Despite foreign interest, the club makes it clear that it does not intend to negotiate the player at this time.

What is Flamengo’s next game?

With Evertton Araújo available, Flamengo is putting the Carioca ‘aside’ and focusing on the Recopa Sudamericana. Furthermore, this Thursday (19), Filipe Luís’ team visits Lanús (ARG) at the Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the first leg of the intercontinental final.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
