Fluminense make defence top window priority, eye Nino return | OneFootball

With the break for the World Cup, Fluminense has already defined its priority for the next transfer window: signing a center-back.

According to ge, the name at the top of the Tricolor’s list is Nino, the 2023 Copa Libertadores champion.

The defender had already been a target for Fluminense in the transfer window at the end of last year, but Zenit said it would not open negotiations before the end of the Russian Championship. With the season over and the title won by the Saint Petersburg club, the possibility of a transfer is being discussed again.

Fluminense knows that the race for Nino will not be simple. Palmeiras has shown interest in the defender in recent months, although the signing of Alexander Barboza from Botafogo has reduced the need for reinforcement in that position.

In addition, European media outlets even reported supposed interest from Real Sociedad of Spain. So far, however, there has been no concrete progress from the Spanish club.
