Fluminense sign defender Igor Rabello | OneFootball

Igor Rabello is the newest player for Fluminense. This Friday, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras announced the signing of the defender, who came up through the youth ranks of the Rio de Janeiro club. He was a free agent after leaving Atlético-MG last Sunday.

The 30-year-old player signed with Fluminense until December 2027. Igor Rabello is already registered in the BID (Daily Information Bulletin) and could make his debut this Saturday at 4 p.m., when the Tricolor das Laranjeiras faces Red Bull Bragantino at the Estádio Municipal Cícero de Souza Marques. The defender was included in the squad by coach Renato Gaúcho and traveled with the Rio team’s delegation to Bragança Paulista (SP).

“I’m very happy to be able to come back. I spent my entire childhood in the youth and futsal teams at Fluminense. So, I’m really coming to fulfill a dream that I couldn’t achieve back then, which is to play professionally for this club. I’m very happy, my whole family is very happy. I hope I can bring a lot of joy to the Tricolor fans,” said the defender in an interview with FluTV.

This will be Igor Rabello’s first stint with Fluminense’s professional team. The defender was part of the club’s youth and junior teams, but was sold to Botafogo in 2012, at the age of 17, before making his debut for the Tricolor das Laranjeiras’ first team.
