Dream defence? Fluminense want Nino and Thiago Silva, latest on talks

Fluminense is working to put together the “dream center-back pairing” for its fans: Nino and Thiago Silva. According to ge, both negotiations are being handled cautiously due to the complexity of the talks.

In Nino’s case, Fluminense has already made an official offer to Zenit, from Russia, which was rejected. The Russian club made a counteroffer with higher figures and payment terms considered difficult by Fluminense. Despite the impasse, talks are ongoing, and a new offer could be sent in the coming days.

Thiago Silva, meanwhile, is a free agent after leaving Porto. Fluminense’s board contacted the defender to gauge his interest in returning to the club, but the player, who is on vacation, has not yet decided his future.
