Everton Cebolinha bolsters Santos with a contract until 2026, marking the end of his journey at Flamengo, where he accumulated significant national and international titles.
The Brazilian football scene was abuzz this week with the official transfer of forward Everton Cebolinha to Santos Futebol Clube. The signing of the player, who was previously with Flamengo, represents a significant move for the club from the Baixada Santista region as part of its sports project for the upcoming seasons.
The announcement, released by Peixe (a nickname for Santos), establishes a long-term bond with the athlete, scheduled to last until the end of 2026. Cebolinha‘s arrival generates high expectations, considering his performance history with major clubs and national teams, with Santos fans eagerly awaiting his debut and contributions on the field.
Cebolinha‘s Arrival at Santos
The negotiation involving Everton Cebolinha culminated in the signing of a contract linking him to Santos for an extended period. The coastal club confirmed the acquisition of the forward, who will now wear the black and white jersey for three years. The official announcement was made on the club’s digital platforms, celebrating the arrival of a renowned and experienced player.
Santos‘ official profile on the X platform (formerly Twitter) made a point of highlighting the qualities of the new reinforcement:
Fast, decisive, and a multi-champion, the forward arrives at Peixão (a nickname for Santos) after leaving Flamengo and signs a contract until the end of 2026. Welcome, Cebolinha.
This statement underscores the expectation that the player will bring new dynamism and decision-making power to the team.
Farewell to Rubro-Negro
Everton Cebolinha‘s departure from Flamengo was also formalized by the Rio de Janeiro club, which bid farewell to the forward with an emotional and appreciative message on its social media. Rubro-Negro (a nickname for Flamengo) highlighted the athlete’s victorious trajectory while defending the Sacred Mantle (a nickname for Flamengo’s jersey), a period marked by various achievements.
In an official publication, Flamengo recalled Cebolinha‘s glorious moments and significant achievements at the club:
It was your dream to wear the Mengão’s Mantle, to be happy, and to achieve great things. The cycle ends today with everything accomplished, Cebola (a nickname for Cebolinha)! Two Libertadores titles, two Copa do Brasil titles, one Brazilian Serie A title, one Supercopa, and three Carioca titles! Success in your career, Everton Cebolinha.
The message reinforces the player’s success with the team before his transition to Santos.
The move of Everton Cebolinha between two national football giants not only stirs the transfer market but also recalibrates the power dynamics for upcoming competitions.

For Flamengo, the departure represents a gap to be filled, but also the confirmation of a successful cycle for the player. Expectations now turn to Cebolinha‘s adaptation to his new environment and how his arrival will impact Peixe‘s (Santos’) performance in the sports scene.
