Angioni still hopeful for Hulk, confirms interest in Savarino | OneFootball

During the opening ceremony of the Campeonato Carioca, Fluminense’s executive football director, Paulo Angioni, provided crucial updates on the club’s moves in the market, with a special focus on the offensive sector. The major saga of the transfer window, the possible signing of Hulk from Atlético-MG, remains alive behind the scenes at Tricolor.

Angioni confirmed that the club is still negotiating for the striker, although he attributed the handling of the talks to Mário Bittencourt.

“Regarding Hulk, that’s up to Mário, he’s the one who has something to say about it. Curiosity is part of football, but accuracy doesn’t fit at a time like this. We’re trying,” declared the director.

Besides the number 7 from the Minas Gerais team, another name was brought to the table. Angioni admitted that Fluminense is interested in signing Jefferson Savarino, currently at Botafogo.

“Savarino is a player we’re interested in. Nothing is finalized. But we hope to conclude it as soon as possible,” he stated, indicating that the club is seeking agility to strengthen the squad.

The director concluded the market overview by specifying Tricolor’s priorities for the 2026 season. In a bit of a cold shower for Fluminense fans eager for more signings, the director was emphatic: “For now, the attempt is to get a striker and possibly a midfielder. And nothing more.”
