Gabriel Fuentes highly rated in Colombia, set to leave Fluminense in 2026 | OneFootball

Left-back Gabriel Fuentes has little chance of remaining with Fluminense for the 2026 season. Not part of the coaching staff's plans, the player is unlikely to stay with the tricolor squad, although the club is not treating the athlete as released at this moment.

According to journalist Gabriel Amaral from Raiz Tricolor, the main possibility at the moment is a return to Colombian football, where Fuentes is still well-regarded in the market. Additionally, the athlete is also being offered by his representatives to Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs in the United States.

In Brazilian football, Athletico-PR and Coritiba have made inquiries about the left-back, but the contacts were made directly with Fluminense and have not progressed to a concrete negotiation so far.

Internally, the Tricolor is not working with the idea of releasing the player, but understands that the chances of Fuentes remaining in the squad in 2026 are slim, especially given the planning for the position and the shortage that led the club to seek alternatives throughout the season.
