Terans surprised by Flu return, expected to stay at Peñarol

After a loan period at Peñarol in 2025, David Terans returned to Fluminense at the beginning of this year to join the squad. The midfielder was expected to continue with the Uruguayan team for a while due to an injury, as per the General Sports Law he must follow treatment at the club where he got injured, but he ended up being sent back to the tricolor this year and is undergoing treatment here at CT Carlos Castilho.

In an interview with a Uruguayan radio station, El Espectador Deportes, David Terans stated that he was caught by surprise with this immediate return to Fluminense.

“Peñarol said I had been medically cleared, but I wasn't released to play. Fluminense told me no, that I was injured. I thought I would stay at Peñarol until I fully recovered. It was December 29th and I was training at the Campeón del Siglo stadium. On December 30th, they told me I had to return to Fluminense. I couldn't even say goodbye to my teammates. Everything was very rushed, I had to return in a hurry with my family,” stated David Terans.

Terans joined Fluminense in January 2024, for R$ 14 million, after playing for Pachuca, Mexico. The signing was surrounded by expectations from the fans, due to his performance in Brazil defending Athletico-PR. However, the Uruguayan midfielder was unable to perform well in the tricolor jersey, playing in only 17 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
