ACCORDING TO GE, Everton Cebolinha arrived at Flamengo 17 months ago, but has not yet managed to establish himself in the starting team. This is evident from the fact that his longest sequence of matches as a starter occurred in the last four games of the 2022 Brazilian Championship, when coach Dorival Júnior opted to select reserves. In the next five days, he will have a great opportunity to gain the fans' trust, facing Fortaleza on Sunday and Palmeiras on Wednesday.

He will assume the starting position against Fortaleza, as Bruno Henrique is suspended for Flamengo's next two matches, due to a straight red card received after offending referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein in a play against Santos. Interestingly, Everton Cebolinha had a spell at Fortaleza between the ages of 13 and 17, which makes this match even more special for him.

Due to his position as the only striker in the squad who normally plays on the left side , it is likely that Everton Cebolinha will remain in the starting lineup against Palmeiras next Wednesday. The only way he could lose his spot would be if he significantly underperformed. However, the problem so far has been Everton Cebolinha's difficulty in standing out. In 2022, he started four consecutive games only when coach Dorival Júnior chose to choose a reserve team after winning the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. In the current season, his longest run in the first team was just three matches, one in April, another in May and the last in June. Since June, he has failed to start two consecutive games.

The last time he started two consecutive games was on June 25, when he scored a goal in a 3-2 victory over Santos in Vila Belmiro. A special motivation for Everton Cebolinha is the only match in which he started under coach Tite. He started the game against Grêmio and even opened the scoring in that match, which ended in a 3-2 defeat. He was doing well on the field, but Tite chose to replace him with Bruno Henrique, who was not in full physical condition. on that occasion. Interestingly, after the substitution, Flamengo's performance fell and the team suffered a turnaround.

However, in other games, such as against Cruzeiro and Vasco, Everton Cebolinha did not have such convincing performances. Against Santos, he came on in stoppage time, which didn't give him enough time to show his potential. Furthermore, he will have a great incentive in the next two games, as Tite was responsible for calling him up to the Brazilian team in 2019. Under the guidance of the coach from Rio Grande do Sul, Everton had an exceptional performance in winning the Copa América, opening the score in the final against Peru and being elected the "star of the final" by Conmebol. Despite not having yet reached the expectations of Flamengo fans after investing more than R$90 million in his signing, Everton Cebolinha has all the necessary incentives to try to stand out with the club's red and black shirt.

Flamengo continua ativo nos bastidores para ajustar o elenco para a sequência da temporada 2026. A mais nova movimentação do Departamento de Futebol é a saída definitiva do atacante Wallace Yan. O jovem, formado nas categorias de base do clube, teve sua venda encaminhada para o Red Bull Bragantino, rival direto do Rubro-Negro na disputa da Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro.

A negociação está em estágio final, restando apenas detalhes burocráticos para o anúncio oficial. O acordo entre os clubes já foi selado, faltando agora a assinatura do contrato por parte do atleta para formalizar a transferência para a equipe do interior paulista.

VALORES MILIONÁRIOS

Segundo informações divulgadas pelo jornalista Benjamin Back, o modelo de negócio envolve a venda majoritária dos direitos do jogador. O Flamengo aceitou negociar 70% do passe de Wallace Yan, optando por manter 30% sob seu domínio. Essa estratégia visa garantir uma fatia significativa de lucro em uma eventual venda futura do atleta para o futebol europeu, considerando o potencial de valorização no projeto da Red Bull.

Em relação às cifras, o jornalista Gabriel Reis (do canal Paparazzo Rubro-Negro) apurou que a transação gira em torno de 10 a 12 milhões de euros. Convertendo para a moeda nacional, o montante aproxima-se da casa dos R$ 70 milhões. O jogador, inclusive, já estaria organizando sua mudança para Bragança Paulista, indicando que o desfecho deve ocorrer nos próximos dias.

FLA LIGA ALERTA NO ATAQUE

A venda de Wallace Yan impacta diretamente o planejamento do ataque rubro-negro para 2026. Com a saída do jovem, o elenco vê as opções para a referência ofensiva, o tradicional camisa 9, ficarem escassas. Atualmente, o técnico conta apenas com Pedro como centroavante de ofício e Bruno Henrique, que pode atuar improvisado na função de falso 9.
