Kleber's decision is important for the future of the club

The Coritiba club is expecting a clear decision regarding the situation of attacker Kleber by this Wednesday. To understand this matter, let's look at the timeline of events. On 4 April, Kleber's agent Pepe Dioguardi arrived in Curitiba to discuss the interest shown by Fluminense with Kleber and Coritiba's management team. The next phase of negotiations was scheduled after the time when the Campeonato Paranaense would be decided. On 8 April, Kleber played in the important Atlético match. At the beginning of the week, Fluminense made Kleber an offer for a 2-year contract. Coritiba rejected the offer, saying that they could not afford Kleber's high salary. Subsequently, on 11 April, Kleber left Curitiba for a medical examination at Fluminense. On April 14, it was reported that Kleber had failed the medical examination. Although neither party confirmed this, according to reports, Fluminense's physicians did not recommend his recruitment. Despite this, the club decided to re-evaluate Kleber's situation. On 18 April, during the presentation of new coach Eduardo Baptista, I questioned manager Samir Namur about Kleber's situation. He admitted that the club decided to release the player because of the high salary. He added that the sum of salaries from Coritiba's previous five contracts was also less than Kleber's salary. Shortly thereafter, Fluminense released an official statement, saying that negotiations with Kleber had been "temporarily" suspended. "Fluminense stated that they could not reach a financial agreement with the player, so his recruitment negotiations have been temporarily suspended." Coritiba took note of the “tentative” term and said only that they were waiting for a response from the Rio club. Last week, Kleber's agent Pepe once again came to Curitiba to tell the management the status of negotiations with Fluminense. Currently, Kleber's situation in Coritiba is complicated. Firstly, because of their high salaries and secondly, because of the way they conduct negotiations. The club hopes the situation will become clear this week. With the return of Pedro Abad, Fluminense and Kleber are still discussing salary issues.
