Fluminense eye Nino’s return, no advanced talks yet

In the past few hours, news circulated on social media that Fluminense was close to bringing back defender Nino, currently at Zenit. However, as our report has found, this information is not accurate.

At the moment, there are no ongoing talks between Fluminense and Zenit. Likewise, there is no discussion about the player's arrival, whether it would be now in January or only in May, after the end of the Russian Championship.

Internally, Flu is adopting a cautious stance. The club is monitoring Zenit's movements and is ready to open negotiations if the Russian team shows willingness. So far, however, the Russians have not shown interest in negotiating the Brazilian defender.
