Xerém youngster Fabinho on Fluminense’s radar for the 2026 season | OneFootball

Fluminense is closely monitoring the situation of midfielder Fabinho, a "Moleque de Xerém," who has caught the club's attention for the 2026 season. According to journalist Victor Lessa, despite the monitoring, there are currently no ongoing negotiations or formal discussions between the parties.

Fabinho, from Al-Ittihad, is already able to sign a pre-contract and is being monitored by Brazilian clubs, including Fluminense. The 32-year-old midfielder is internally seen as an interesting player within the profile sought by the Tricolor, but the management is exercising caution. The evaluation considers both the sporting aspect and the financial conditions of a potential move.

The Saudi club is not expected to create obstacles for the midfielder's departure, but the main hurdle for a possible return to Brazilian football is the high salary Fabinho receives abroad. The amounts are above the financial reality of clubs in the country, making any negotiation more complex.

The club remains attentive to the market and the opportunities that may arise, especially during this planning period for the next season. However, so far, Fabinho's situation is only being monitored, with no concrete developments.
