AS Roma have already tested Flamengo’s resolve with a €25 million offer

AS Roma have already tested Flamengo’s resolve with a €25 million offer for the Brazilian, but the proposal was rejected. The Brazilian club consider Lino an important part of their plans and are reluctant to sanction his departure without a substantially improved bid.

Lino could prove to be a useful signing for Everton as they look to improve their attacking quality. The Brazilian is primarily a left winger but can also operate on the opposite flank or in a more central attacking role. His pace, dribbling ability and eye for goal make him an interesting option for the Premier League side. The 26-year-old also has valuable European experience, having previously represented Atletico Madrid and Valencia.

However, securing his services will not be straightforward. Flamengo have demonstrated their determination to retain the attacker by turning down Roma’s substantial proposal, and their position could make negotiations difficult for interested clubs. Lino is under contract with the Brazilian outfit until December 2029, which puts Flamengo in a strong negotiating position.

Everton could face considerable competition for his signature, with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Napoli also monitoring the situation. It remains to be seen whether they will make a formal approach for the Brazilian in the coming months.
