Jemmes lands in Rio tonight for medicals and to sign with Fluminense | OneFootball

Fluminense is close to officially announcing another reinforcement for the 2026 season. According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, defender Jemmes will arrive in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday night to undergo medical exams and sign a contract with Tricolor this Friday.

The 25-year-old defender was signed from Mirassol after standing out during the São Paulo club’s historic campaign in the 2025 Brasileirão. Jemmes played in 37 out of 38 rounds of the competition, scored two goals, and was one of the defensive pillars of the team that secured a spot in the Libertadores.

Fluminense agreed to purchase 70% of the player's economic rights for around 4 million dollars. The contract will last for five years. A right-footed center-back standing 1.87m tall, Jemmes arrives to fill the gap left by Thiago Silva and strengthen Tricolor’s defensive system.

The internal expectation is that the player will be available at the start of pre-season, joining the squad that will compete in the Campeonato Carioca.
