Brazilian striker Givanildo ‘Hulk’ Vieira de Souza transitioned to Fluminense from Atlético-MG, stating he held no resentment toward his former club despite its financial restructuring and debt-reduction efforts. At age 40, he expressed a desire to pursue titles, specifically the Copa Libertadores, with his new team.

Following his arrival, Hulk faced a period of difficulty characterized by fan criticism and a club-wide eight-match winless streak. Amidst these challenges and a coaching change that saw Marcão take over as interim manager, Hulk scored his first official goal for Fluminense with a header during a Campeonato Brasileiro match against Palmeiras at the Maracanã stadium.
