Fluminense hopeful for Nino this summer despite Palmeiras bid | OneFootball

Fluminense reached out to Zenit again this Wednesday to try to sign Nino, but the Russian club said that the defender will only be available for transfer in the middle of the year. Even so, the Tricolor remains attentive to the market and is awaiting an official position from the Europeans to assess a possible move. The information was reported by ge.

Palmeiras is also still trying to sign the 28-year-old center-back and even sent an emissary to Abu Dhabi, where Zenit is playing in a friendly tournament. Despite Palmeiras’ efforts, Fluminense remains in the race for Nino, who left the club at the beginning of 2024.

The Tricolor board had already made an offer to the player in December, and the athlete expressed interest in returning to the club. At the time, however, Zenit did not agree to release him. Now, the Russians have reiterated that they intend to keep the defender until the end of the Russian Championship, in May.

The transfer window in Brazil remains open until March 3. If no agreement is reached by then, Nino will only be able to be registered by a Brazilian club starting July 20, when the market reopens, one day after the World Cup final.
