Jhon Arias closed his cycle in Fluminense. After almost four years in which he won the respect of his teammates and the heart of the fans, the Colombian changes the heat of Rio de Janeiro for the intensity of the Premier League. Your destination: Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Arias does not go through the back door. It goes as an idol, with a clear legacy: 230 games played, 47 goals, 55 assists and four titles that include a historic Copa Libertadores in 2023 and the South American Recopa 2024. It arrived in August 2021 from Santa Fe and became, in record time, in a key piece of the tricolor.
Fluminense officially confirmed his transfer on Friday, July 18, one day after Arias played his last game with the club, a 0-2 defeat against Cruzeiro. According to figures revealed by Globo Esporte, the agreement with Wolverhampton reaches 22 million euros, of which 17 are fixed and 5 are subject to variables for yield. Patriots, a club that had Arias in its beginnings, will receive 6 million. Flu, in addition, will maintain 10% of your rights for a future sale.
The exit was not silent. Arias said goodbye to the club and the fans with a sincere and extensive message, in which he thanked all those who were part of their way: coaches, colleagues, club workers and, of course, the fans. “Thank you for showing me so much love … for teaching me what it means to be Fluminense,” he wrote. And it made it clear that this is not a definitive closure: “This is not a goodbye … see you soon!”
For Arias, this leap to England is more than a professional step. It is a dream fulfilled. Playing in the most competitive league in the world puts him in front of a new challenge, one that will demand everything he learned in Brazil. Wolverhampton wins a mature, polyifunctional and hungry footballer. Fluminense loses a symbol, but also celebrates the success of one of his.
Football has memory, and the history of Arias in the flow is not erased. Now, the ball rolls in another stage. And the Wolves already have a new wolf in the herd.
