Fluminense eye Scarpa move, Atlético-MG demand big fee | OneFootball

Fluminense remains attentive to market opportunities to strengthen the squad in 2026, and a familiar face to the fans has come onto the radar. The tricolor management made a formal inquiry to Atlético-MG to understand the business conditions involving midfielder Gustavo Scarpa, the "Moleque de Xerém" who currently plays for the Minas Gerais club.

Besides Fluminense, Santos and São Paulo also approached Galo to inquire about the player's situation.

Although Scarpa ended the season on a low note, sitting on the bench in the final of the Copa Sudamericana, taking him away from Belo Horizonte will not be an easy or cheap task. Atlético-MG indicated that they do not intend to facilitate his departure and demand to recover the investment made.

To negotiate the player permanently, the Minas Gerais club is asking for at least €4.5 million (approximately R$29.68 million at the current exchange rate). It is worth remembering that Galo paid €5 million to bring him from English football in January 2024.

Player's Situation

Although he lost ground with coach Jorge Sampaoli towards the end of 2025, Scarpa is still part of the Argentine coach's plans for the next season, mainly due to his versatility in playing both in creation and on the wings. The midfielder has a contract with Atlético-MG until the end of 2027.
