Mirassol star Reinaldo was once on Fluminense’s radar | OneFootball

One of the main highlights of Mirassol this season, the left-back Reinaldo has previously been a target for Fluminense. At the end of 2022, the defender of the Tricolor's next opponent in the Brasileirão was one of the names considered by the management to strengthen the position, until Marcelo's return to the Team of Warriors was finalized at the beginning of 2023.

At that time, Reinaldo was at the end of his contract with São Paulo and was recommended by Fernando Diniz, who had already worked with the player at the São Paulo team. Flu began talks with the athlete, who initially gave a positive signal, but reiterated that he would only continue negotiations after the deadline for a possible renewal with São Paulo had passed. Later on, the defender signed with Grêmio, and Fluminense completed the signings of Marcelo and Diogo Barbosa.

The left-back has been a major tormentor in matches against the Tricolor in recent years: he has six goals and five assists in 22 games.

Fighting for a spot in the Libertadores, the Team of Warriors faces Mirassol in the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship, at 19:30, at Maracanã.
