The future of Éverton Cebolinha at Flamengo is uncertain. The forward rejected an offer from Gremio, while Krasnodar and Botafogo have also shown interest in signing him.
Éverton Cebolinha‘s stay at Flamengo is becoming increasingly unlikely. With his contract nearing its end at the close of the season, the forward has not yet been approached by the club’s management for a potential contract renewal, which opens the door for his departure from the Rio de Janeiro club.
In this scenario of uncertainty, Gremio, Cebolinha’s former club, emerges as one of the main interested parties in having the player back. However, the Gremio club’s initial approach was rejected by the player‘s staff, who are seeking more advantageous financial conditions in their next contract. The competition for the player promises to shake up the transfer market, with other teams, including international ones, also in the race.
Gremio Makes Offer, But Cebolinha Rejects Terms
Gremio formalized an offer of R$1 million in salary for Éverton Cebolinha, aiming to bring the forward back to the club at the end of the year. However, the proposal did not include bonuses, an additional amount paid upon signing the contract.
According to information from a person close to the player, obtained by the M360 Team, this condition was the main reason for the rejection. The player demands a more robust financial package.
Interest from Krasnodar and Botafogo Heats Up the Competition
In addition to Gremio, other clubs have shown willingness to invest in Cebolinha. Krasnodar, from Russia, presented an offer of R$1.6 million per month, combining salary and bonuses, with a three-season contract.
On the domestic front, Botafogo also entered the fray, offering R$1.2 million in salary and R$600,000 in bonuses. Despite the offers, Cebolinha reportedly expressed a preference for Gremio within Brazilian football, seeking a contract until December 2028.
Uncertain Future at Flamengo
Cebolinha‘s contract with Flamengo expires in December of this year. The forward had already revealed, in February, that there had been no initiative from the club to discuss a renewal.
After winning the Libertadores the previous season, the player admitted to receiving inquiries from several Brazilian teams, intensifying speculation about his departure.
The player stated:
There have been no renewal talks at this moment. I haven’t been approached. I believe I can say this is my last season here at Flamengo.
Éverton Cebolinha‘s imminent departure from Flamengo is stirring up the market. The rejection of Gremio‘s offer signals that the forward is seeking an agreement that fully meets his financial and project expectations.
With interest from clubs like Krasnodar and Botafogo, the coming months will be decisive in determining the destination of the player, whose days at the Gávea club appear numbered. The scenario opens a window of opportunity for Gremio and other competitors eager to secure the services of the versatile forward.
