Poor record: Soteldo has just 1 win in 11 games for Fluminense | OneFootball

Attacking midfielder Soteldo has yet to justify his status as a major signing for Fluminense. Since joining the club, the Venezuelan has played 11 matches, with a worrying record: 1 win, 1 draw, and 9 losses, without any goals or assists.

This statistic becomes even more striking when you look at the only victory in which the player was on the field. Against Internacional, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals at Beira-Rio, Fluminense won 2-1, but Soteldo left injured after just 15 minutes and did not contribute to the win.

The poor performance of the number 10 also has financial implications. Fluminense spent around R$ 30.5 million to sign him from Santos, in one of the club's biggest deals in recent years. In addition, Soteldo earns a salary of over R$ 1 million per month, which increases the pressure on his performance.

So far, the investment has not translated into technical returns on the field. The relationship between high cost and modest numbers reinforces the frustration felt by part of the fanbase.
