Fluminense extend striker Riquelme's contract | OneFootball

Fluminense has been striving to keep its main youth talents under contract. The Tricolor announced the renewal of the contract for striker Riquelme.

The player signed a contract with Fluminense until 2030. His debut in the professional team took place in January 2025, during the Carioca Championship. Currently, the young man has played 18 matches with the Tricolor's main jersey.

On the club's website, the athlete celebrated the agreement: "I am feeling very proud of everything I have been doing and building over these years. I want to first thank God, my family, and all of Fluminense for the opportunity to now sign my first renewal. Now it's time to continue with the work and improve every day. Here I have fulfilled many dreams, and today I fulfill another one, to be here in this great club that I love so much. I have been here since I was a child. I want to score many goals, provide many assists and achieve the main goal, which is to win titles," he said.

The contract renewal with Riquelme caused apprehension among the directors due to the delay in reaching an agreement. The player was part of the squad that reached the semifinals of the Super World Club Championship and continues to be an option on the bench for coach Renato Gaúcho.

Next commitment

Last Sunday, Fluminense ended in a 1 to 1 draw with Santos for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. For the next match, the Tricolor faces Bahia for the return match of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, on Wednesday, at 7pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
