Cruzeiro announce Bruno Rodrigues is back | OneFootball

Cruzeiro announced on Wednesday the signing of forward Bruno Rodrigues on loan from Palmeiras. The contract is valid until the end of this season.

The player had been signed by the São Paulo club at the end of 2023, precisely after standing out in the celestial jersey. However, Bruno only managed to secure a spot in the alviverde team starting in September 2025, after recovering from two serious knee injuries. With strong competition in the squad, he couldn't establish himself and, this season, played only four matches for Verdão.

Even with coach Abel Ferreira promoting rotation and opening space for youth players and those with less playing time, Bruno Rodrigues had few opportunities. He was not a starter on any occasion and accumulated about 100 minutes on the field over ten games for Palmeiras this year.

Before the agreement with Cruzeiro, Internacional attempted to negotiate the loan of the forward, but the talks did not progress.

Bruno Rodrigues' Statistics

In 2023, the forward was one of Cruzeiro's highlights, with 13 goals and seven assists. For Palmeiras, he played 17 games and scored two goals, both in 2025. At the end of last year, he was involved in a controversy by participating in a tournament in his hometown during the holidays without notifying the club.

At 26 years old, Bruno Rodrigues was revealed 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 defended Doxa Katokopias in Cyprus and Famalicão in Portugal.
