Cruzeiro start market search after Flamengo move for Kaiki Bruno | OneFootball

What is Kaiki Bruno’s situation at Cruzeiro?

Flamengo are interested in signing Kaiki Bruno for 2027. Amid the Rubro-Negro’s inquiry, Cruzeiro has started looking for a new left back on the market and has placed two names on its shortlist.

According to information from Minas Gerais radio station ‘Rede 98’, Cruzeiro are pessimistic about Flamengo’s interest in Kaiki Bruno. As a result, the club has made Internacional’s Alexandro Bernabei the top priority to cover for a possible departure, while also sounding out the situation of São Paulo’s Wendell.

Why is Flamengo interested in signing Kaiki Bruno?

It is worth noting that Kaiki Bruno was requested by coach Leonardo Jardim, since the Portuguese manager worked with the full-back in 2025 at Cruzeiro. In addition, Flamengo’s left-back position is not settled for 2027.

That is because Alex Sandro has a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2026, but is considering moving to a club with a less “packed” schedule. In addition, Ayrton Lucas is not in the good graces of the Rubro-Negro fans.

What is Kaiki Bruno’s situation at Cruzeiro?

At the moment, Kaiki is under contract with Cruzeiro until the end of the 2027 season. In 2026, the left back has made 27 appearances, with three assists. In addition, the player is on Brazil’s preliminary squad list for the World Cup.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo, meanwhile, are preparing for another fixture. This Thursday (14), Fla face Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. After a 2-1 win in the first leg, Mengão only need a draw to qualify for the round of 16.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Sportv (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
