Lelê and Keno miss Nova Iguaçu clash due to talks with other clubs | OneFootball

Fluminense will have off-field absences for the match against Nova Iguaçu this Thursday at 9:30 PM at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. Lelê and Keno were not listed as they are involved in negotiations with other clubs. The information comes from journalist Lucas Ribeiro of O Globo.

Striker Lelê is in advanced talks with Vitória, which is negotiating a loan with the Tricolor. The management is evaluating the operation model and financial conditions to release the player during this transfer window.

As for Keno, the situation is different. The forward, number 11, may leave the club permanently, a move that would represent a considerable relief in the salary budget for Fluminense, seen internally as strategic to balance the accounts and make room in the squad.

The absences of Lelê and Keno are not related to physical or technical issues, but exclusively to ongoing market negotiations. Meanwhile, Fluminense remains attentive to opportunities to adjust the squad for the remainder of the season.
