Ganso hits Brasileirão game limit and stays at Fluminense

Starting against Botafogo, the midfielder made his 13th Série A appearance and can no longer play for another top-flight team in 2026

Named in the starting lineup by Luis Zubeldía for the derby against Botafogo, Ganso reached 13 matches in the Brazilian Championship, ruling out any transfer to another Série A club this season.
