At a press conference this Friday, the midfielder said he is happy at the club that developed him and that he would be satisfied if he stayed at Laranjeiras.— I have always been very happy at Fluminense; it is the club that gave me the opportunity to grow as a man and as a player. I dream of playing in the top leagues, as I believe every player does. But I do not feel this pressure that I have to play abroad. If I stay here, I will be extremely happy — he said.At 24, Martinelli has already made more than 300 appearances for Fluminense and has built a successful career wearing the Tricolor shirt. The midfielder won the 2023 Copa Libertadores, the 2024 Recopa Sudamericana, and two Carioca titles, in addition to claiming three Guanabara Cups.Trained at Xerém, Martinelli is the club-developed player with the most appearances for the senior team.
