Everton Cebolinha, Flamengo's forward, rejected Botafogo's offer. The black-and-white club offered a two-year contract with a salary above R$ 1 million, amounts that pleased the player and his staff, but negotiations were unsuccessful. The information was initially published by Venê Casagrande and confirmed by GLOBO.
In what was considered a friendly negotiation, Cebolinha thanked Botafogo's interest but explained that after four years wearing the red-and-black shirt, he wants to play for a club outside Rio de Janeiro. The player expressed his intention to seek new professional horizons in another state.
Botafogo, on the other hand, will go after a new name to strengthen the attack wing. The black-and-white board has options mapped by the scouting department that are already on the football department's table. The search for reinforcements for this position continues.
As for Flamengo, the club continues to allow Cebolinha to look for a new club capable of paying his salary. The red-and-black will not charge a transfer fee for the forward, whose contract runs until the end of the year. The board's intention is only to reduce the club's salary bill.
