Athletico-PR target Fluminense duo Igor Rabello and Gabriel Fuentes | OneFootball

Athletico-PR seems determined to seek reinforcements from Fluminense's squad for the 2026 season. After news about the Paraná club's interest in midfielder Otávio, the Furacão now turns its attention to two other less utilized players in the Tricolor, defender Igor Rabello and left-back Gabriel Fuentes.

According to journalist Rodrigo Dias, Igor Rabello may leave the club soon. The 30-year-old defender, hastily signed in August 2025 to address defensive shortages, has not managed to secure a consistent spot. With only four matches played and a contract until 2027, he is considered negotiable. It is worth noting that Athletico had already attempted to sign the defender in the first half of the year when he was still with Atlético-MG.

Another name in the sights is Colombian Gabriel Fuentes. According to journalist Eduardo Oliveira, the left-back also attracts the interest of the Paraná team, which is looking for replacements for potential departures in its defensive sector. Fuentes, who is contracted with Fluminense until August 2028, has not managed to establish himself and is currently a substitute, with Renê taking over the starting position.

The Tricolor board, which plans to make changes for the next year, is not expected to complicate negotiations, as both players are not in the main plans of the coaching staff and have long contracts that generate costs for the club.
