John Arias rejects Fluminense's contract renewal offer, causing an impasse at Laranjeiras.

The Colombian midfielder John Arias, a fan favorite at Fluminense, has rejected the club’s contract renewal offer, which included a 50% salary increase. The decision surprised the Tricolor board, especially at a time when the club is involved in important competitions. This information was released last Wednesday (4).

Arias’s refusal comes amid interest from major clubs abroad. Galatasaray from Turkey made a €12 million (approximately R$74.7 million) offer for the player, but the offer was promptly rejected by Fluminense. The Rio de Janeiro club justified the decision based on the “timing” being inappropriate, as they are in the final stages of the Copa Libertadores and need to stay focused on the Brasileirão.

The impasse has created discomfort between the player and the club. Arias is said to be upset with the rejection of the Turkish offer, given a previous agreement between the player and Fluminense that offers above €10 million would be considered. Coach Mano Menezes, in turn, views the Colombian as a key component in the Tricolor’s tactical scheme.

Fluminense continues negotiations to try to retain the player, but the situation puts Arias’s future in a state of uncertainty. Meanwhile, the club continues to pursue its sporting goals, trying to prevent the episode from affecting the team’s environment.

The Flu board has yet to make an official statement about the situation, but the coming days will be crucial in determining whether Arias will remain at Laranjeiras or seek new challenges in international football. Stay on top of the game with BB Score.
