Uncertain Future and the Search for Continuity

Cano’s stay at Laranjeiras for 2027 is still an open question. So far, the club’s board has not approached the player to discuss a possible contract renewal.

The current season has been a challenging one for the No. 14. Dealing with physical issues that have limited his run of games, the striker has played only seven matches in 2026 and is still looking for his first goal of the year. However, his historic goalscoring instinct puts him very close to reaching important records for the club and in Brazilian football.

Historic Milestones at Tricolor

Starting with the club’s history of foreign players, Cano has just drawn level with Colombian Jhon Arias in number of appearances, with both on 230 matches, sharing third place among the foreigners with the most games for Fluminense. Ahead of them are only fellow Argentines Russo, with 251 matches, and Darío Conca, who tops the ranking with 272 appearances.

When it comes to finding the net, the center-forward is already the third-highest foreign goalscorer in the club’s history, with 111 goals. He trails only Englishman Henry Welfare, with 161 goals, and compatriot Russo, with 155.

At the Maracanã, the Argentine is also close to climbing some coveted steps. With 62 goals scored for the club at the stadium, he needs just four more to surpass recent and historic idols such as Fred, who has 65, and the duo Telê Santana and Lula, tied with 66 goals. The clear leader on that list is Waldo, with 94 goals.

Recognition in Brazil and in His Career

Looking at the striker’s full career, Fluminense is very close to becoming the team for which Cano has scored the most goals in his life. Currently, Colombia’s Independiente Medellín leads that personal statistic with 129 goals, followed by the Rio Tricolor with 111 and Vasco with 43.

In Brazilian football overall, the Argentine is cementing his name among the greatest imported legends. In Campeonato Brasileiro matches alone, he is the third-highest foreign goalscorer with 60 goals, behind only Uruguayan Arrascaeta, with 80, and Serbian Petkovic, who leads the ranking with 83.

Counting goals in all competitions played on Brazilian soil, Cano has 151 goals, placing him sixth all-time among foreign players. The top of that overall list features heavyweight names: Petkovic leads with 170 goals, followed closely by Welfare with 168 and Argentine Doval with 166. Also ahead of Cano in the ranking are Uruguayan Arrascaeta, with 154, and fellow Argentine Villalba, with 153.
