Fluminense set to reject offer for Martinelli | OneFootball

The Fluminense board already has an answer for the proposal it is expected to receive in the coming days for midfielder Martinelli. The club does not intend to negotiate the player at this time. The idea is to consider this possibility only during the mid-year transfer window.

Martinelli has attracted the interest of Besiktas, from Turkey, which made an initial inquiry last Monday. The talks did not progress due to Fluminense’s lack of interest. However, the Turkish club is expected to make a new attempt this week, starting on Sunday.

Seen as a key player in Luis Zubeldía’s system, Martinelli could further increase his value in the first half of this year and has maintained a high level of performance, even being mentioned as a potential call-up for the Brazilian National Team.

Martinelli is the Fluminense academy graduate with the most appearances for the team, with 297 matches, and all indications are that he will reach 300 games for the Tricolor in February. In 2025, he surpassed goalkeeper Fernando Henrique, another academy product who played 265 times for the club.
