After Fluminense’s 1-0 defeat to Boavista on Saturday night, in the 2nd round of the Campeonato Carioca, Guilherme Arana gave an interview to ge TV and commented on the Tricolor’s failed negotiation for Hulk, his long-time former teammate at Atlético-MG. “We follow it through you, through the press, right? I called him, but at no point did I talk about the negotiation that was happening. Honestly, there’s a lot on Hulk’s mind,” said Arana.The player regretted that the negotiation did not have a positive outcome, but left the door open for the striker to come in the near future, mentioning the possibility of a pre-contract.“I know Hulk very well, I played with him for five years. I was sad that it didn’t work out, but who knows, maybe next year, in the middle of the year, he can already sign a pre-contract. If he wants to wear the Fluminense shirt, he’ll be welcomed, just like I was,” he stated.Guilherme Arana’s Fluminense will be back on the field next Thursday (22nd), at 9:30 p.m., against Nova Iguaçu, at Luso-Brasileiro.
