Ávalos profiled by Argentine journalist: excels in the air | OneFootball

The Fluminense board remains committed to strengthening the attack, and the Paraguayan Gabriel Ávalos, currently at Independiente, stands out as the main target. The Tricolor’s pursuit is in response to a direct request from coach Luis Zubeldía. The football management believes it is essential to provide this player to the coach, since the current squad does not have any other player with these specific area-forward characteristics.

To detail what the club aims to add to the roster, Argentinian journalist Nicolás Campolongo, from the TN Deportivo portal, outlined the profile of the 35-year-old athlete. In an interview with the newspaper O Globo, the reporter explained:

The Buenos Aires reporter also recalled the striker’s recent peak in 2023, when he played for Argentinos Juniors. “He scored many important goals. He was decisive. He was the top scorer of the Copa Argentina and caught the attention of several clubs,” Nicolás recalled, also assessing that the deal would be very positive for the player, who is seeking the first official title of his career.

Although Fluminense’s first offer, around three million dollars, was rejected by Independiente, negotiations remain active. The Tricolor is struggling with a shortage in the sector after Everaldo’s departure to Bahia and the current situation of Germán Cano (who has only recently started training with the group), leaving only John Kennedy as a specialist option.

It is important to note, however, that the possible arrival of the Paraguayan striker does not affect or rule out the signing of other names. The board remains on alert for the attack, continuing the search for more reinforcements, even after previous attempts for players like Hulk, Denis Bouanga, and Alexis Cuello did not move forward.
