Cruzeiro chief keeps Kaio Jorge fee under wraps, Flamengo keen on striker | OneFootball

What did Pedro Junio, vice-president of Cruzeiro, say about Kaio Jorge?

Pedro Junio, vice-president of football at Cruzeiro, spoke again about the negotiation with Flamengo for Kaio Jorge. In the view of the executive of the Minas Gerais team, the offer from the Rubro-Negro is below what they want for the forward. Furthermore, the director did not want to disclose how much the club wants for the athlete.

In an interview last Friday (02), Pedro Junio mentioned the rejection that the Minas Gerais team made regarding Cruzeiro's proposals. When asked about the demand of 50 million euros (R$ 317 million) for the athlete, the director said: “Cruzeiro maintains a position of not discussing values, but understands that the proposal from Flamengo is below what we think.”

Despite this impasse, the vice-president of Cruzeiro stated that Kaio Jorge will rejoin the squad this Monday (05). Thus, if the Minas Gerais team maintains this same stance, Flamengo will have to seek another 'target' for the attack in this transfer window.

WHAT WAS FLAMENGO'S PROPOSAL TO CRUZEIRO FOR KAIO JORGE?

In the latest bid for Kaio Jorge, Flamengo offered 32 million euros (R$ 203 million) to Cruzeiro for the forward. In the negotiation, 24 million euros (R$ 152 million) in cash + inclusion of Everton Cebolinha, who is valued at 8 million euros (R$ 50 million).

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE OTHER PRIORITIES IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW?

Yes! Besides looking to strengthen the attack, Flamengo is also eyeing the market for goalkeeper signings. Thus, Gabriel Brazão from Santos and Lucas Morisco from Coritiba are on the radar. Finally, so far, Mengão has completed the signing of defender Vitão, formerly of Internacional. The defender is Fla's first reinforcement for the 2026 season.
