Mateus Iseppe, a 20-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder from Atlético Mineiro, is close to joining Nacional. The deal is delayed by details related to contractual clauses, with an expectation that these will be resolved on Tuesday. If the agreement proceeds, the Brazilian club will loan the player for one season with an option for Nacional to purchase his rights. Iseppe, who previously captained Atlético Mineiro's under-20 team, did not report to Atlético Mineiro's training on Monday after a twenty-day vacation, which is viewed as a sign of his departure. Earlier this year, in February, he had also received interest from clubs in Ukraine and Russia. His contract with Atlético Mineiro is valid until December 2028 and his market value is €400k, according to Transfermarkt. Iseppe made 2 appearances in the Campeonato Mineiro for the 2025/2026 season.
