— Hulk will definitely help. When he arrives, we’re going to embrace him. This group has that characteristic of being very united, like a family. I know he’ll come in and, regardless of whether he plays alone or we form a partnership up front, he’ll be important for Fluminense. We’re going to do everything to help Fluminense — said the forward.

Hulk’s signing was recently made official by the club. The forward signed a contract with Fluminense until the end of 2027, but he will only be able to play after the next transfer window opens, following the break for the World Cup.

The expectation is that Hulk will strengthen Fluminense’s attack in the remainder of the season and could even form an attacking duo with John Kennedy. Meanwhile, the No. 9 remains one of the main attacking options for the team coached by Luis Zubeldía.
