O Fluminense moved the football market on Tuesday night (3/3) by officially announcing the signing of two new reinforcements for the season. The big highlight is the Argentine striker Rodrigo Castillo27 years old. The player, who was at Lanús, gained recent fame among the tricolors by scoring two goals against Flamengo in the Recopa Sul-Americana final, guaranteeing the title for the Argentines and now arrives at Laranjeiras with a contract valid until the end of 2030.
In a creative presentation video, the club used the surname of the new number 19 to pay homage to the legendary goalkeeper Castilho, one of the greatest idols in tricolor history. In addition to the Argentinean, the Fluminense confirmed the arrival of the Colombian defender Julian Millanwho was at Nacional in Uruguay and signed until 2029.
The New Faces of Laranjeiras
The signings aim to fill out the squad led by the technical committee for the Libertadores disputes and the rest of the national calendar.
-
Rodrigo Castillo (Shirt 19): Mobility striker with an eye for goal. His performance in the Recopa against his rival was decisive in choosing the tricolor scout.
-
Julián Millán (Shirt 29): 1.88m Colombian defender, known for his physical strength and good aerial ball time. Enough to compete for a place in the defensive sector.

Decisive non-Fla-Flu focus
The new reinforcements arrive at a time of euphoria, but also of total focus. THE Fluminense returns to the field this Sunday (8/3) to face Flamengo in the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca. The classic, which takes place at Maracanã, will have a special flavor with the possible presence of the new red-and-black “executioner” now wearing the Tricolor colors.
| Player | Position | Origin | Contract |
| Rodrigo Castillo | Attacker | Lanús (ARG) | December / 2030 |
| Julian Millan | Defender | National (URU) | December / 2029 |
| Next Game | Carioca Final | Maracanã | 03/08 at 6pm |
Tricolor fans hope that the new names are already regularized with the IDB to be options on the reserve bench. The expectation is that the arrival of Castillo and Millán will bring the necessary balance so that the Fluminense maintain your hegemony in football in Rio de Janeiro.
