Flamengo

On 27 December 2013 Flamengo announced Everton's signing from Tigres UANL. In October 2016 Everton alongside, Alan Patrick, Marcelo Cirino, Pará and Paulinho got involved in trouble through the media due to excessive partying.

On 3 February 2017 Everton agreed to a contract extension with Flamengo until 2019. On 5 July 2017 Everton completed 100 Brazilian Série A matches for Flamengo playing against São Paulo.
