Bournemouth have seen Flamengo make a concrete move for Evanilson, but talks stalled due to the figures involved, according to O Globo in Brazil.
The 26-year-old striker has emerged as one of the Brazilian club’s main attacking targets, yet Bournemouth’s valuation proved decisive in halting progress.
Brazilian sources state that Flamengo initially focused their January efforts on former West Ham target Kaio Jorge, before turning to Evanilson after Cruzeiro rejected their approach.
Flamengo then tabled an offer worth €30m, the same amount proposed for Kaio Jorge. Bournemouth, however, set their asking price at €50m and showed little appetite to negotiate.
The Premier League side’s stance also reflected recent squad changes. Bournemouth had already lost Antoine Semenyo, sold to Manchester City, which reduced their willingness to part with another key forward mid-season. Still, with the arrival of Rayan from Vasco, the club indicated that discussions with Flamengo could reopen in the summer.
From Flamengo’s perspective, Evanilson fits the profile approved by head coach Filipe Luís, who wants a striker capable of scoring while maintaining high intensity in a pressing system. That’s why they’re also monitoring Tottenham’s Richarlison.
However, Evanlison’s recent Premier League record stands out. This season, he has scored five goals, all against members of the traditional “Big Six”. But for now, Bournemouth remain firm. What happens next appears more likely to be decided once the summer window arrives.
