Flamengo identified Evanilson as a priority target to reinforce the attack, according to the Rio press. The Brazilian champion reportedly made a proposal of 30 million euros for the former FC Porto striker, but the offer was promptly rejected by Bournemouth, who demanded 50 million euros to release the striker. Interest in the 26-year-old striker, who is in his second season in England after four years in Portugal, comes after a failed attempt to sign Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro in January. However, initial negotiations for the former Dragon were interrupted, as the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City forced the cherries to reevaluate the market strategy. Recently, the signing of Rayan, from Vasco da Gama, by the British, rekindled the team's hope Mengão to be able to resume talks in the middle of the year. Evanilson's name has already received approval from coach Filipe Luís, who is looking for a striker with finishing ability and intensity, characteristics he considers essential for his high-pressing game model. Remember that Evanilson transferred from the blue and whites to Bournemouth in the summer of 2024, in an operation that involved 37 million fixed euros, plus 10 million in variables. Since then, the striker has stood out in the Premier League. This season, Evanilson scored five goals, all of them, interestingly, against teams from big six: one to Liverpool, two to Tottenham, one to Manchester United and one to Arsenal. In the previous season, the player scored three goals against the English Sharks, with two goals scored against Manchester City and one against the gunners. Flamengo remains attentive to the situation and, if it manages to reach a financial agreement with Bournemouth, the signing of Evanilson could take place later this year. The Rio club, it should be noted, already broke the transfer record for a Brasileirão team last month, when it secured the signing of Lucas Paquetá from West Ham, for 42 million euros.
