Hulk is on the verge of being announced by Fluminense, but the Atlético-MG forward is not the only Brasileirão player who could still switch clubs!
With the next transfer window set to open on July 20 (one day after the World Cup final), Brazil’s domestic football market is already starting to move.
The rules allow players who have appeared in up to 12 Brazilian Championship matches to transfer to other teams in the same division.

In this scenario, ge listed 15 players who have not yet hit the appearance limit and could strengthen new teams in Série A!
