Marcos Júnior keen on Fluminense return: “If Mário calls, I’ll come back” | OneFootball

A product of Xerém and one of the most recognizable names associated with Fluminense in the last decade, Marcos Júnior has once again publicly declared his affection for the club and his desire to return to the Tricolor. During his appearance on NETFLUCast, the attacking midfielder stated that he would accept an offer from Flu without thinking twice.

Currently 32 years old, Marcos Júnior plays for Sanfrecce Hiroshima in Japan, where he has been since 2019, the year he left Fluminense. Even though he is well-established in Asian football, the player made it clear that his emotional bond with the club remains intact.

— “Returning to Fluminense is my dream. I’m not here to force anything. But I am a Tricolor. If Mário calls me tomorrow, I’ll come back without hesitation.”, said the player.

The athlete acknowledged that the club’s current moment is different from the one he experienced during his time there and highlighted Fluminense’s current structure, as well as the squad overhaul over the years. Even so, he emphasized that he would accept the opportunity if it arose.

— “Of course, it may be that my time at Fluminense has passed, the club is very well structured today and has a different team from my era. But if I had the opportunity, I don’t think I’d have to think much. It would be easy.”, he added.

Marcos Júnior was promoted to Fluminense’s senior team in 2012 and built a career marked by a strong connection with the fans, titles, and a leading role during a less successful period for the club. Even though he is physically distant, the midfielder continues to follow the Tricolor and, whenever possible, shows his desire to one day wear the green, white, and maroon shirt again.
