Globo.com reports that Athletico made an inquiry to understand the financial conditions and Fluminense's willingness to release Everaldo. There is real interest from Athletico, but no official offer has been made yet. The expectation is that talks will progress over the week, and Athletico is optimistic about having the financial capacity to meet the terms, whether for a loan or a permanent transfer.

Athletico-PR is interested in signing Brazilian striker Everaldo from Fluminense. According to ESPN, Athletico-PR has initiated the first contacts and aims to advance the deal this week. Athletico-PR views the 34-year-old as an alternative to their current forward, Kevin Viveros. Fluminense wants to sign a new high-impact number 9 before negotiating Everaldo's exit. Everaldo is currently the number 9 for Fluminense and has a contract until the end of this year. The forward joined Fluminense in February 2025. His current market value is €400k, according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 season, he has scored one goal in three domestic league appearances.
