After being announced by Cruzeiro on Wednesday, Bruno Rodrigues is now cleared to wear the celestial shirt this season. The club has registered the forward in the CBF's BID (Daily Information Bulletin).
Thus, the player could make his debut this Saturday, in the semifinal of the Campeonato Mineiro, against Pouso Alegre. The match will take place at Manduzão, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time).

Bruno Rodrigues arrives on loan from Palmeiras. The forward had been signed by the São Paulo club at the end of 2023, precisely after standing out in the celestial shirt. However, he only managed to get a run of games with the green-and-white team starting in September 2025, after recovering from two serious knee injuries. Facing tough competition in the squad, he did not secure a spot and, this season, played only four matches for Verdão.
In 2023, the forward was one of Cruzeiro’s standouts, with 13 goals and seven assists. For Palmeiras, he played 17 matches and scored two goals, both in 2025. At the end of last year, he was involved in a controversy after participating in a tournament in his hometown during the holidays, without informing the club.
At 26 years old, Bruno Rodrigues was developed by Athletico Paranaense, where he turned professional in 2017. In Brazilian football, he also played for Tombense, Joinville, Paraná Clube, Ponte Preta, and São Paulo. Abroad, he played for Doxa Katokopias and Famalicão.
