Overview

  • Atlético-MG confirmed a mutual termination on Friday, freeing the 39-year-old forward to complete a long-discussed switch to Fluminense.
  • The club set a farewell tribute for May 10 at Arena MRV before the Botafogo game, marking the end of one of its most successful recent eras.
  • Fluminense has an agreement in principle and is preparing medicals, with most outlets reporting a deal through 2027 and one report citing mid-2028.
  • Fluminense can register Hulk for the Copa Libertadores only if it advances to the round of 16, which adds pressure as the team has struggled in Group C.
  • Atlético-MG kept Hulk out of the Flamengo match to avoid hitting Brazil’s league appearance cap that can block a player from joining another Série A club in the same season.
