The player was little used in 2025, having only five matches for Tricolor. In this way, the parties agreed to go to the club from Paraná, which will compete in Série A of the Brasileirão this season.

Lavega arrived in Rio de Janeiro with the status of a great promise in Uruguayan football and signed a contract until the end of 2029 with Fluminense. Standing out for Uruguay’s River Plate, he appeared on the English newspaper The Guardian’s list of the best young players in the world.

Throughout the season, he went through three coaches and received few opportunities on the field. Renato Gaúcho, in an interview, stated that he and Lezcano were not yet ready to act and that was why they were not called upon. With Zubeldía, he was tested on the left side because he was left-handed, just like Renê and Fuentes.

Remember Lavega’s games for Fluminense

Lavega’s first game for Fluminense was the defeat to Fortaleza, in their debut in the Brazilian Championship – which led to the dismissal of Mano Menezes. In that game, he replaced Renê in the 83rd minute.

Then, he returned to the field in the victory over GV San José, in the Sudamericana. The Uruguayan entered at 73, replacing Kevin Serna. Upon returning from the competition, when they played in Bolivia, the player was a starter for the first time, as Renato did not take the starters to spare them from wear and tear. He played for 45 minutes and was replaced by Renato Augusto. Against Unión Española, he added 19 more minutes when he came on for Lezcano.
