Fluminense showed interest in 26-year-old Brazilian defender Joaquim from Tigres, but the return of Thiago Silva and Ignácio from injury and the high price of 6 to 8 million euros demanded by the Mexican club led to a reevaluation. The player's contract runs until 2027 and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m. Vasco da Gama has also been linked with him.
