More reinforcements

“He hasn't signed a contract yet, medical exams are pending, but we have agreed on the contractual and negotiation terms to sign the forward Alan Minda, a player who is agile, powerful, one-on-one, skillful,” Paulo Brack began. “We are close to having the third reinforcement, whose name I won't reveal to you for now, as we are not on the same page as we are with Alan Minda,” he concluded.

Alan Minda has been playing for Cercle Brugge, in Belgium, since 2023, and has a contract until the end of June 2028.

Is Hulk staying?

Hulk's situation is causing some discomfort at Atlético-MG. “He is an idol, for me he is the greatest idol in Atlético's history. No one from Atlético's management, no one from Atlético's board, wants Hulk to leave. No one is retiring Hulk. On the contrary. We offered him a contract extension until the end of 2027. In other words, two more years of contract. Hulk will stop when he decides to stop, not when Atlético or any other club decides,” commented Paulo.

Fluminense is closely monitoring the forward's situation with Galo and is considering making a move to sign him for 2026.
