Gabriel Fuentes stays at Fluminense after América move falls through | OneFootball

The possible transfer of left-back Gabriel Fuentes to América of Mexico, which seemed to be on track in recent hours, has taken a turn and is now unlikely to happen.

The update was brought by Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo, a well-known specialist in covering the South American transfer market. In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) profile, César reported that Fuentes’ move to the Mexican club has “fallen through.”

The reason for the withdrawal

According to the journalist’s investigation, Fluminense and América of Mexico had already reached a full agreement for the player’s loan. The stumbling block, however, was directly with the athlete, as there was no agreement on the “personal terms” of the contract between Fuentes and the Mexican team.

The negotiation had been revealed yesterday (8) by GE, which detailed that América’s interest “piggybacked” during the talks for the purchase of midfielder Lima—a deal that was completed. Fluminense was just waiting for the left-back’s “yes” to close the package, which ultimately did not happen.

With the end of the talks, the 29-year-old Colombian remains at Laranjeiras. Currently, Fuentes faces stiff competition in the squad. He is considered the third option for the left-back position, a sector that has been reinforced for 2026 with the arrival of Guilherme Arana.
