Gabriel Fuentes unlikely to stay at Fluminense in 2026 | OneFootball

Little used in the second half of 2025, left-back Gabriel Fuentes is not in the plans of Fluminense’s coaching staff for the year 2026. According to information released by journalist Wilson Fort from Central Fluminense, the club’s intention is to negotiate the Colombian’s permanent transfer in the next transfer window.

The left-back started the season as a starter under coach Mano Menezes. After suffering an injury in the first match of the Carioca Championship final against Flamengo, Fuentes lost his place on the team after returning to the pitch. Since Zubeldía’s arrival, the Colombian has only played twice, both times coming off the bench.

By decision of the coaching staff, the player was not included in the squad list for the matches against Cruzeiro and Mirassol in the Brasileirão. In an interview, the Argentine coach even stated that he had been using forward Lavega in the left-back position during training sessions.

The Colombian joined the Team of Warriors in September 2024 for US$1.2 million (approximately R$6.6 million). Since then, Gabriel Fuentes has only played 33 times wearing the Tricolor shirt.
