Fluminense seal signing of Paraguayan centre-back for under-20s | OneFootball

Fluminense has moved closer to signing 19-year-old Paraguayan center-back Carlos Areco, who was with Sportivo Trinidense. The defender will be signed permanently by Tricolor, while the Paraguayan club will retain 40% of the player’s economic rights.

Standing at 1.91 meters tall, Areco will initially join the Under-20 squad, coached by Fred. The center-back has already been in Xerém for a few weeks, during which he underwent evaluations by Fluminense’s recruitment department. The contract is expected to be signed next Friday (4). The deal was reported by Paraguayan journalist Bruno Pont.

The signing also reinforces the club’s strategy of expanding its search for young talents outside Brazil. In addition to Areco, Fluminense’s Under-20 squad currently includes foreign players such as Colombian forward Juan Palacios and South African midfielder Kgomotso Madiba.
