Everton Cebolinha was once again the talk of the town among fans and the press after Flamengo 's victory over Grêmio in the third round of the Brasileirão Betano. After the final whistle, the striker was asked about a possible return to the club that revealed him, and his answer stirred up the backstage. "Since I left, I've been thinking about coming back. I have a huge affection for Grêmio," he said . Despite his nostalgic speech, the number 11 reinforced that there are no negotiations underway and that he remains focused on the project led by Filipe Luís.
GRÊMIO DOES NOT PLAN TO INVEST IN A NEW SPIKER AT THIS TIME
According to journalist Diogo Rossi, who covers the club's news, the Grêmio management has no intention of looking for a new wing player at the moment. The transfer window is also closed, which prevents any official movement. Internally, the position is considered balanced, and there is no rush to invest in offensive reinforcements. Everton Cebolinha himself reinforced that, despite the desire to return one day, there is nothing being discussed behind the scenes at the moment.
FLAMENGO PRIORITIZES ARRIVALS TO STRENGTHEN THE SQUAD IN 2025
While speculations about his departure arise, Mais Querido is keeping its radar focused on possible signings for the window before the Super World Cup. With Filipe Luís in charge, the board is focusing on players who can add quality and intensity . The club knows the importance of a strong squad to face the tough and competitive schedule of the second half of the year . Therefore, despite Cebolinha's affection for Grêmio, the tendency is for the striker to remain in the squad, at least for now.
This season, Everton Cebolinha has played ten matches, starting on some occasions, including in the victory over Vitória. He has scored one goal and provided one assist so far. His performance has been positively evaluated by the coaching staff, who see the player as a useful name both to make up the squad and to start matches in certain circumstances. The idea is to make the most of the athlete's potential in 2025.
Mengão spent around 13.5 million euros to sign the player from Benfica in 2022. Therefore, a possible transfer requires a significant financial return — something that is not on Grêmio 's radar at the moment. Even with the athlete's declared interest in a future reunion with the Rio Grande do Sul club, a negotiation now seems unlikely both due to financial issues and the current planning of the boards involved.
Cebolinha's words after the game came as no surprise to those who have followed his career. The forward has never hidden his affection for Grêmio and his desire to wear the tricolor jersey again one day. However, he himself admits that this is in his future plans, not immediate ones. For this return to happen, several factors will need to be aligned: the opening of a window, formal interest from the Rio Grande do Sul club and an agreement between the parties.

Increasingly established as a Flamengo idol, Giorgian De Arrascaeta is enjoying one of the finest moments of his career. Since donning the iconic No. 10 jersey in December 2024 , the Uruguayan has taken center stage in the Flamengo midfield.
With 18 goals and 13 assists this season, he has already equaled his highest-scoring year since arriving in Rio de Janeiro and could achieve the best performance of his professional career. The midfielder will be one of coach Filipe Luís's main weapons in this Thursday's duel (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.
In addition to Arrascaeta's key role, Flamengo will have reinforcements in its squad. Léo Ortiz, Varela, and Bruno Henrique are available to face Estudiantes . Meanwhile, Alex Sandro and Jorginho remain doubtful and will have their fitness assessed shortly before the match.
Eduardo Domínguez's team will be without González Pirez and Edwuin Cetré, both injured. Even so, 27 players were selected for the match in Rio de Janeiro, and the final training session took place at Fluminense's training center in Rio's West Zone . The Argentine team reached the quarterfinals after defeating Cerro Porteño 1-0 on aggregate.
FLAMENGO (Coach: Filipe Luis): Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saul, De La Cruz (Jorginho) and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Samuel Lino.
ESTUDIATES (Coach: Eduardo Domínguez): Muslera; Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Facundo Rodríguez and Santiago Arzamendia; Ascacíbar, Gabriel Neves, Amondarain and Medina; Tiago Palacios and Guido Carrillo.
The red-and-black team has the second most valuable squad in the competition, while Argentina has the second cheapest squad among those who qualified.

Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18) to face Estudiantes (ARG) in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. The clash pits one of the most expensive squads in the tournament against one of the most financially modest.
According to data from the specialized website ' Transfermarkt ', Estudiantes has the second least valuable squad among those qualified for the quarterfinals, valued at 45.6 million euros (approximately R$283.8 million). Flamengo is at the other end of the list: it has the second most expensive squad in the competition, estimated at 195.1 million euros (approximately R$1.2 billion), behind only Palmeiras.
Flamengo advanced to the quarterfinals after eliminating Internacional in the round of 16, winning both matches. Estudiantes secured their spot by defeating Cerro Porteño (Pará), winning away from home and drawing in La Plata . This Thursday's match promises to test the value of their investment against the Argentines' tradition.
