The Fluminense fans have been stirred up in recent hours by reports that the club had strongly entered the race to sign midfielder Cristian Medina from Estudiantes-ARG, allegedly even leading the race against rivals such as Botafogo and Flamengo. However, this information is not accurate.
Contrary to what was recently reported, claiming that coach Luis Zubeldía had given his “immediate approval” and that Tricolor was close to a deal, our investigation found that there is currently no negotiation of any kind underway between Fluminense and the player.
Our investigation also reveals that Cristian Medina’s name was not even considered in the club’s planning for the 2026 season. The club, focused on winning the Libertadores for a second time, is monitoring the market for targeted reinforcements, but the profile and financial terms involved in the Argentine midfielder’s potential transfer are not on the football department’s agenda.
Furthermore, according to our findings, the board continues to work discreetly on other fronts, but Medina’s arrival at Laranjeiras is ruled out.
