Fluminense seal deal for defender Jemmes, Mirassol’s standout star | OneFootball

Fluminense has secured the signing of defender Jemmes from Mirassol. According to Venê Casagrande, the Tricolor will pay 4 million dollars (R$ 22 million) for 70% of the economic rights of the defender, who will sign a contract valid for five seasons with the Rio de Janeiro club.

At 25 years old, Jemmes was one of the main highlights of Mirassol in the team's historic 2025 campaign. The defender played 40 matches throughout the season and scored two goals, drawing attention with his strong defensive performance and consistency.

The signing is part of Fluminense's planning for the 2026 season, especially in light of the anticipated changes in the defensive sector following the departure of Thiago Silva. Jemmes arrives to strengthen the squad and expand the options for the coaching staff, which currently includes only Juan Freytes, Ignácio, Igor Rabello, and some young players from the youth academy, such as Davi Schuindt, Kayky Almeida, and Loiola.
