Fluminense won't raise offer for Adryelson, talks come to an end | OneFootball

Fluminense remains active in the first transfer window of 2026, searching for reinforcements for its defensive system. One of the main targets of the board was the defender Adryelson, currently at Al Wasl, but negotiations did not progress after the tricolor club’s offer was rejected.

The Tricolor board presented an offer of around six million euros (about R$ 37 million), an amount considered below expectations by the United Arab Emirates club’s management. The initial asking price was around 10 million euros, and even though there was an indication that a lower amount could be discussed, Fluminense chose not to increase its offer and ended the talks.

Adryelson was the club’s first concrete attempt to strengthen a sector considered a priority by the coaching staff. The board believes the squad needs more options, especially given the possibility of departures and the limited number of players available for the position.

Fluminense’s main dream is the return of Nino, currently at Zenit. However, the Russian club does not intend to negotiate the defender before the mid-year transfer window, which makes a transfer impossible at this time.

With the refusal for Adryelson and the difficulty in bringing Nino back, Fluminense continues to monitor the market in search of new names to strengthen the defense and complete the squad for the remainder of the season. The tendency is for the club to remain cautious given the high prices in the market, which the board considers inflated.
