“There was interest from some clubs in Brazil. There was interest (from Flamengo), there was interest from Palmeiras, from European clubs. But they didn't want to sell. I didn't come for that. I want to get back to where I'm going to excel. I want to go to the Selection. I want to take advantage of this moment of the Selection being reformulated to stand out”, said the midfielder revealed by Vasco.

FLAMENGO'S INTEREST AND EUROPE ON THE HORIZON

Evander, who recognizes the greatness of Mengão, commented on the interest: “I was very happy to be remembered, especially by a club like Flamengo, one of the largest in Brazil and America. Even though I have a history at Vasco, I wouldn’t be the first or the last to change rivals”, said the player. He also highlighted his desire to play for major European clubs and the Brazilian National Team, although he recognizes the difficulties of making this transition directly from MLS.
