Gremio attacker Everton Soares has confirmed that he held talks with Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti this month.
As reported on Globo Esporte, the Brazilian, more commonly known as Everton or Cebolinha, had a discussion about moving to Merseyside.
As quoted in the report, he said:
He (Ancelotti) asked me how I was doing and if he was interested in playing at the club.
It is a great club, a great opportunity. A great coach too, I will definitely learn a lot from him.
I have a friendship with Richarlison, I was able to play together with him. He ended up knowing Everton’s interest and came to me. I am also happy for these contacts.

The Toffees were strongly linked with a big-money move for Cebolinha, but as reported on the Daily Mail, the club made no official offers.
We’re delighted to hear that Ancelotti and Richarlison spoke to the 23-year-old to try and convince him to make the move because it shows that they both are committed to improving the team.
The Brazilian has a total of 36 goals in his career playing in the Brazil top flight and who knows, after his glowing comments about the club, he might well join in the summer. Agent Richarlison, do your thing!
