Ganso remains out of Fluminense squad, future unclear | OneFootball

Paulo Henrique Ganso was once again left out of Fluminense’s squad list. The midfielder was not an option for Luis Zubeldía in last Friday’s 1-1 draw with Bragantino, extending his spell without taking the field for Tricolor. The No. 10 also did not feature in the mid-season friendlies against Nova Iguaçu and Bahia and is facing an uncertain situation regarding his future at Laranjeiras.

The situation began before the break for the Club World Cup. In May, Fluminense released an official statement saying that Ganso would be rested for the matches against Deportivo La Guaira and Cruzeiro so that he could have “the peace of mind and the necessary conditions to decide his future,” after receiving interest from another club.

With the season resuming, however, negotiations have not progressed, and the midfielder remains under contract with Fluminense. Even so, the club is still allowing him to leave if an offer deemed satisfactory comes in.

One of the factors that helps explain Ganso’s absence is the Brazilian Championship rule. The midfielder has made 12 appearances in the competition and, if he takes the field one more time, he will reach the limit that would prevent him from playing for another Série A club in this edition of the tournament.

While his future remains undecided, Ganso continues to be left out of Fluminense’s matches. The No. 10 did not play in the mid-season friendlies against Nova Iguaçu and Bahia and was also left out of the squad list against Bragantino.
