Alan Franco, the Brazilian striker who has made a name for himself in Europe with his impressive goal-scoring record, is set to make a return to Brazil after agreeing terms with Fluminense.
The move is expected to be announced soon and it will be a huge boost for the club as they look to challenge for the title this season.
Franco was a key player for Benfica during his time there, scoring 51 goals in 94 games and helping them win the league twice. He also had a successful loan spell at Real Madrid where he scored 12 goals in 27 games.
However, the striker has struggled to find form since returning to Europe and has found himself out of favour at both clubs.
But now he is back in Brazil and looking forward to rejoining his former team, Fluminense,Football Path Network where he spent four years playing and scoring 68 goals in 114 games.
The move is seen as a great opportunity for Franco to prove himself once again and show that he can still be a top-class striker. It also gives him the chance to work under new coach Jorge Jesus, who has been praised for his attacking style of play.
Fluminense have already signed several high-profile signings ahead of the upcoming season, including winger Raul Jimenez from West Ham United, but Franco could be the missing piece in their attack if he can rediscover his form.
Overall, the arrival of Franco is sure to excite fans of Fluminense and could help them challenge for the championship this season.
