Flamengo's Evertton Araújo on controversy with Bayern: "They were picking on me"


“These guys are complicated. They were getting on my case about the video game thing, but I was never one for playing video games . I was more into hanging out on the street playing soccer and flying kites. But you know how the internet is, right?! Everything is fine, we’re together,” said the midfielder, in a video posted on the club’s social media.


Despite not having had the habit of playing video games as a child, Evertton assured that he knows the main names in the Bayern squad . The youngster is already focused on preparing for this Sunday's duel (29), as is the rest of the group led by Filipe Luís.

FLAMENGO CONTINUES PREPARATION WITH DOUBTS IN THE MIDFIELD


With most of the squad available, Filipe Luís is working on defining the starting team for the knockout game . The only doubt so far is midfielder De La Cruz, who is still recovering from knee pain and is not yet guaranteed to be in the match.

The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.


According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.


UNITED IN PROBLEMS


The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.

FLAMENGO'S PARTICIPATION


Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.

FOCUS ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
