Overview

  • Atlético’s Paulo Bracks said the club agreed in the locker room before Sunday’s 4-0 loss to Flamengo that Hulk would not make a 13th league appearance so he could still move to another Brazilian team.
  • Hulk left the arena before kickoff, trained away from the main group on Monday, and did not travel to Peru for the Sul-Americana match against Cienciano.
  • Talks with Fluminense progressed on Tuesday after a Monday meeting with Atlético, and new meetings are planned to try to finish a deal that would run through the end of 2027, according to multiple reports.
  • The parties are working toward an amicable termination that would settle money owed to the player and outline any farewell tributes, with Hulk’s camp expecting a quick resolution.
  • Season to date, Hulk has 5 goals and 3 assists in 22 games, and reports indicate he could join Fluminense after the 2026 World Cup break if the termination and contract are finalized.
