This Thursday, Fluminense confirmed the sale of Isaque, a product of the club's youth academy, to Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine. In the negotiation, the Rio de Janeiro team retained 10% of the economic rights of the 18-year-old athlete, who signed a contract until mid-2030 with the European club.

With the addition of Isaque and Luca Meirelles to the squad, the Ukrainian team reached 13 Brazilians in their roster. Besides the two, the team includes: Marlon, Pedro Henrique, Vinicius Tobias, Marlon Gomes, Eguinaldo, Kevin, Kauã Elias, Alisson Santana, Lucas Ferreira, Pedrinho, and Newerton.
