Evertton Araujo targeted by Milan, but no formal offer yet

Reports in Brazil claim that Milan sent scouts to view Flamengo midfielder Evertton Araujo, planning a possible offer worth €15m next month.

The Rossoneri are one of several clubs keeping an eye on the situation, but Coluna Do Fla maintain that they are the most active, sending someone to watch him in action against Coritiba at the Maracana on Saturday.

Now that they have a new coach in Ruben Amorim and have decided on a different structure for their transfer team, they can begin planning for the next season.

Evertton Araujo is described as a box to box midfielder who came up through the youth academies at Cruzeiro, Botafogo and Redonda before joining Flamengo in January 2024.

The 23-year-old contributed one goal and two assists in 27 competitive games so far this term, and his contract runs to December 2028.

Sport Mediaset note that any proposal would have to be worth at least €15m to buy 70 per cent of his ownership, but that Flamengo are likely to want even more.

No formal or informal offers have yet been made, especially as the Brazilian transfer window doesn’t open until July 20.
