Everton Cebolinha's future has been decided by Flamengo's board . Despite speculation about a possible departure, the striker will remain on the squad, a decision confirmed after two meetings between the executive director of football, José Boto , and the player's agent, Márcio Cruz, held at CT Ninho do Urubu.


Even though there are no talks about a contract renewal at the moment, the board has made it clear that they do not intend to negotiate with the number 11 this season . The decision also had the approval of coach Filipe Luís , who considers the striker essential for the rest of the season.


CORRECTION ON THE CONTRACT


An important point announced by the board was the correction regarding the striker's contract. Contrary to what was circulating in the media and on scouting platforms, Everton Cebolinha's contract does not end in June 2026 , but in December of the same year.

As a result, interested clubs, such as Grêmio , who are observing the athlete's situation from afar, will not have the possibility of signing a pre-contract in January 2026. Tricolor Gaúcho, to date, has not presented an official proposal nor contacted the player's staff.


FILIPE LUÍS VALUES ATTACKER

Even with the arrival of Samuel Lino and the fierce competition in the offensive sector, Everton Cebolinha remains in the coaching staff's plans. Coach Filipe Luís emphasized the player's importance, especially given Bruno Henrique's suspension and the need to preserve players in simultaneous competitions.

Flamengo closed the mid-2025 transfer window with intense market activity. The balance sheet released by the board shows that the club raised more than it invested , strengthening its cash flow and strengthening its squad.


R$518.4 million was received from the departure of seven players , including important names such as Gerson (R$160.6 million), Wesley (R$162.2 million) and Fabrício Bruno (R$44 million). At the same time, the club continued to sign strategic players, projecting to close the year with revenue exceeding R$1.7 billion.


EXIT NEGOTIATIONS


The biggest sale of the window was Wesley, who netted the club R$162.2 million. Besides him, Charly Alcaraz (R$96 million) and Matheus Gonçalves (R$50 million) also left the team , totaling significant sums. Loans and other transfers rounded out the list of moves that helped bolster the club's coffers.

BIGGEST PURCHASE IN HISTORY AND ARRIVALS


Despite significant departures, the board remained focused on strengthening the squad. In total, seven signings were made for 2025, three of which were free: Danilo, Jorginho, and Saúl Ñiguez.

The biggest investment was Samuel Lino, acquired for R$143 million in a historic deal for the club. Besides him, Emerson Royal (R$58 million), Jorge Carrascal (R$77 million), and Juninho (R$31 million) completed the list of paid reinforcements.

Despite the suspension imposed on striker Bruno Henrique , Flamengo will not make any moves in the market to find an immediate replacement. The board was already considering the possibility of losing the player and believes there are enough options within the squad to maintain the team's performance.


According to a report by Gazeta do Urubu , coach Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his best physical form and can assume a greater offensive role. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are seen as viable alternatives to fill the position , while Juninho is expected to be reinstated in the squad for the next rounds of the Brasileirão.


DETAILS OF THE STJD DECISION


The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not, for now, affect the Libertadores.

However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA. If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches , increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.


UNDERSTAND THE ACCUSATION

The process began after suspicions of manipulation related to a yellow card received by Bruno Henrique in the match against Santos, held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023.

According to the investigation, the player allegedly provided advance notice of the warning, which benefited his brother, Wander, who then passed the information on to third parties involved in sports betting. The investigation led to a disciplinary decision by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD), which may now have repercussions in international courts.

After four days off , the Flamengo squad returned to activities this Friday (5), at Ninho do Urubu, under the command of Filipe Luís. The team is preparing for the next commitment in the Brazilian Championship , scheduled for September 14, against Juventude, in Caxias do Sul.


The group returned at 3:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Training Center in Vargem Grande . On Saturday (6), the work will be carried out in the morning, at 9:30 am, with the same schedule repeated on Sunday (7).


YOUTH IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE


Filipe Luís will be tasked with adjusting the team for the match against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. Despite the technical differences between the teams and their good form in the tournament, Flamengo doesn't have a favorable record when facing the Gauchos away from home.

Their last away win came in 1997, when they won 1-0 in the Brasileirão . Since then, Mengão has lost seven and drawn six in Rio Grande do Sul. The match at Juventude's home ground has always been a difficult one.


CHAMPIONSHIP LEADERSHIP

Currently, the red-and-black team leads the national competition, with 47 points from 21 matches, with 14 wins , five draws, and only two losses. Juventude, on the other hand, is facing a difficult time, occupying 18th place with 21 points, achieved through six wins, three draws, and 12 losses.
