Fluminense agree Martinelli contract extension until end of 2030 | OneFootball

Fluminense officially announced this Tuesday (24th) the contract renewal of midfielder Martinelli. The new agreement is now valid until the end of 2030, adding four more seasons to the previous contract, which was set to expire in December 2027. The deal had been in the works in recent days and was finalized in Rio de Janeiro.

Martinelli is considered one of the pillars of the Tricolor squad. At 24 years old, the player recently reached the historic milestone of 300 matches for the club, becoming the first athlete from the youth divisions in Xerém to achieve this number. Besides his consistency, he was a key player and starter in the campaign that earned the club the Conmebol Libertadores title in 2023.

Interest from the international market

The midfielder's performance has attracted interest from foreign clubs. During the transfer window at the beginning of this year, Fluminense's management even turned down an offer of 13 million euros, approximately R$ 80 million at the current exchange rate, to keep the player in the team.

Despite his desire to play in major world leagues, the player has always shown gratitude and connection with the Laranjeiras club.

Focus on Tricolor

In a recent exclusive interview with the ge portal, the midfielder spoke about his future and the possibility of a transfer, emphasizing that any move would need to be beneficial for both parties.

When asked about his career, Martinelli stated in full to ge: “If it's to make my career here, I'll do it with all the happiness in the world. I have nothing to complain about here.” The player also stressed that, although there are offers, the decision must be made together: “It's not just about saying I'm leaving,” said the midfielder, who remains focused on Fluminense's goals for the upcoming seasons.
