Fluminense’s Gustavo Scarpa and Douglas are valued for their performances this season, and both players are being monitored by European clubs.
The market that worries Fluminense is Europe because teams from the major leagues can make signings until August 31. Thus, Fluminense have started a countdown to make sure two of their key players are not negotiated in the middle of the Brazilian Championship. The most valued player in the squad is midfielder Gustavo Scarpa. The board has no interest in releasing the midfielder, who has his release clause kept strictly confidential. It is important at this time because the club have ensured that they will only release him if the clause is paid in full. Especially after the departure of striker Fred, Gustavo Scarpa took a prominent role at Fluminense, and has shown so much commitment to his team. Once he returned to the team following an injury, Scarpa regained good form and has been important in the team’s rush towards top-4. With six goals made, the 22-year-old is the second highest assist provider in the league this season, behind Palmeiras’ attacking midfielder Dudu, who has eight.
In addition to Scarpa, another player who has attracted the interest of Europeans is Douglas. And this occurred even before his rise to the professional team. According to UOL Esporte, PSV Eindhoven had a proposal rejected by Fluminense, who wanted to use Douglas in the first team. And it did not take long, as the midfielder has assumed a prominent role in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, French press have also linked the player with a move to Marseille.
