Match15 Mar 2027

Fluminense refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 35 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Julián Millán says Fluminense went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad15 Mar 2027

William Lopes is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad15 Mar 2027

A row about effort at Fluminense

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jefferson Savarino was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Vitor Eudes in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fluminense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Janderson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Janderson and Fluminense agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Loan watch15 Mar 2027

Juan Sebastian Palacios counts the days

“I watch every Fluminense game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Ceilândia runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Loan watch15 Mar 2027

The goals keep arriving from Lelê’s exile

9 goals in 24 games at Pafos — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Fluminense updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

When it matters, John Kennedy plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market4 Jan 2027

Fluminense turn down Cruzeiro for Rodrigo Castillo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Too dear: Fluminense walk away from Matheus Pereira

$6.8M was the most the club would pay and Cruzeiro were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market4 Jan 2027

John Kennedy’s move to Internacional falls through

The deal that would have taken John Kennedy to Internacional has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Fluminense with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Door shut on Dieguinho

Fluminense asked and Ceará said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market4 Jan 2027

Ganso asks to leave Fluminense

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Fluminense make their move for Fabinho

$2.0M on the table at Coritiba. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market4 Jan 2027

São Paulo watching Ignacio

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Fluminense have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Boardroom4 Jan 2027

Fluminense go back to the board over Fabinho

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $2.2M — a club that wants Fabinho enough to be asked twice.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Fluminense

Martinelli and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
