Atlético-MG and Fluminense agree Hulk sits out Arena MRV return | OneFootball

Hulk will not face Atlético-MG at Arena MRV wearing the Fluminense shirt this season. In an agreement reached between the forward and the two clubs, it was decided that the player will not play against Galo at the Belo Horizonte stadium. The match between the teams in the Brazilian Championship is scheduled for September 13, in the 27th round.

The decision, initially reported by Itatiaia, applies only to matches at Arena MRV. If Atlético and Fluminense meet in other competitions, such as the Copa do Brasil or the Copa Sudamericana, Hulk will be able to play normally in matches held at the Maracanã.

The forward will arrive in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of next week to start training at CT Carlos Castilho and join the Tricolor squad. His first meeting with Fluminense fans will take place on May 16, before the match against São Paulo at the Maracanã, in the Brasileirão.

Despite the agreement with the Rio club, Hulk will still have an official farewell from Atlético. The tribute will take place next Sunday at 3 p.m., shortly before the match against Botafogo at Arena MRV.

A recent idol of Atlético’s fans, Hulk ends his spell at the club with impressive numbers: 140 goals, 56 assists, and major titles such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Brazilian Super Cup, and five Minas Gerais State Championships.
