😮 Could this be it? Fluminense keen on signing Hulk | OneFootball

Hulk’s time wearing Atlético Mineiro’s shirt may be nearing its end.

He was included in the squad for the clash against Flamengo, but was left out. 

The reason: an approach from a Série A club.

That club, according to ge journalist Joanna de Assis, is Fluminense.

The 39-year-old veteran had played in all 12 of Galo’s Brasileirão matches up to this Sunday. 

That is exactly the (new) limit of matches a player can play for one team before being allowed to represent another in the current edition. 

"The decision was made to give the player and the club peace of mind at this moment of uncertainty. Internally, the understanding is that the situation will be handled cautiously over the next few days, until there is a resolution regarding the player’s future," Atlético explained in an official statement. 

Hulk is under contract until the end of this year and had already been targeted by Fluminense at the start of this season.

But the negotiations did not move forward, for example, after the demands made by Atlético.

Without showing the same form as in recent years, he has only five goals in 22 matches this year (17 as a starter).

And he had already indicated that his departure was a real possibility.

Hulk arrived at Galo in 2021 from Shanghai to make history.

He has won one Brasileirão, one Copa do Brasil, one Supercopa do Brasil, and four Mineiro titles.

And a total of 140 goals scored. And 55 assists.
