Out of contract for over a year, Serge Aurier, the energetic and experienced Ivory Coast right-back, is now being courted by a prestigious Brazilian club: Fluminense. Since the end of his contract in Turkey with Galatasaray in July 2024, Aurier has not played any official matches but remains determined to revive his career at the highest level and prepare for his goals with the Ivorian national team. The interest from the Rio club reflects a desire to rely on an experienced player able to add real value to the squad.
Serge Aurier, who has notably played for PSG and Villarreal, could reunite in Brazil with former teammate David Luiz, further boosting the project’s appeal. Behind the scenes, Thiago Silva, current Fluminense captain and Aurier’s former national team partner, is reportedly pushing for this transfer. The two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner himself has confirmed his desire to join an ambitious sporting project to be physically and mentally ready for upcoming international events such as AFCON 2025 and the 2026 World Cup.
This Brazilian adventure could be the turning point Serge Aurier needs after a period of inactivity. Fluminense, looking to strengthen its defense, sees in him an ideal opportunity to combine experience and leadership. Negotiations are ongoing, but the project appeals to the player, who wants to join a club capable of meeting his sporting and international ambitions.
