Canobbio faces Athletico Paranaense for first time since Fluminense move | OneFootball

The duel between Fluminense and Athletico Paranaense, next Sunday at 4 PM, at Maracanã, for the 6th round of the Brazilian Championship, will have a special ingredient for Agustín Canobbio. The match will mark the reunion of the Uruguayan with the club he defended for three seasons before arriving at Laranjeiras.

Signed by Fluminense at the beginning of 2025, the forward was sold by Athletico for 6 million euros (about R$ 37 million at the time's exchange rate). Since then, Canobbio has established himself in the squad and is now an important piece in coach Luis Zubeldía's scheme.

The meeting between the teams could have happened last season, but it wasn't possible because Athletico played in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship. With the return of the "Furacão" to the elite this season, the match will finally put the player face to face with his former club.

Last year, Canobbio experienced the most prolific season of his career, scoring 13 goals in 58 games. In 2026, the Uruguayan found the net twice in 11 matches played.
