Fluminense line up Davi Melo loan to Uruguayan club | OneFootball

Fluminense have finalized the loan move of defensive midfielder Davi Melo to Central Español of Uruguay. The 20-year-old will remain at the Uruguayan club until June 2027 and is expected to join his new team by the end of this week.

Before completing the deal, Fluminense renewed the player’s contract. His previous deal was set to expire at the end of this season, but it was extended until December 2027, giving the club greater control over his future.

The son of former defensive midfielder Felipe Melo, Davi Melo is not part of coach Luis Zubeldía’s plans for the senior squad. In recent weeks, the midfielder had been training separately from the first-team group while awaiting a decision on his future.

As he has already turned 20, the defensive midfielder is also no longer eligible to play for the club’s youth teams, making a move to a new club the most viable path to continue his career.

For Fluminense’s first team, Davi Melo made just one appearance. The midfielder played eight minutes in a 1-0 defeat to Boavista, in a match contested by a side made up mostly of youth players and others who had seen little action throughout the season.
