Alisson joins Fluminense, excited to reunite with Zubeldía

Alisson, the newest signing of Fluminense, is already in Rio de Janeiro. The midfielder landed on Thursday morning at Santos Dumont Airport and is expected at the Carlos Castilho Training Center to resolve the final bureaucratic procedures to sign with the club.

The player will be loaned by São Paulo for free, with Fluminense covering 100% of the salaries, which are around R$ 500,000. The deal includes a purchase option set at 2.5 million euros at the end of the loan, should the Rio team choose to keep the player permanently.

At Flu, Alisson will reunite with coach Luis Zubeldía, with whom he has already worked at São Paulo.

A guy I have a very special affection for. He was a great help to me during my time at São Paulo. I always talked to him, kept in touch even after he left. I'm sure he will be someone who will help me smile again and do what I love most, which is playing football. Working with him is a privilege,” said Alisson.

Alisson is expected to start training with the squad later this week, but he will not be able to play in the final of the Campeonato Carioca on Sunday. The regulations of the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) state that players can only be registered up to the penultimate business day before the first leg of the semifinals. Since the deadline has already passed, he will be out of the decision.

The expectation is that he will be registered in time for the match against Remo, on the 12th, in the Série A of the Brazilian Championship.
