Filipe Luís? Cruzeiro set sights on main target after Tite’s sacking | OneFootball

Filipe Luís has been without a club since leaving Flamengo in March

Cruzeiro dismissed coach Tite last Sunday (15), after a 3-3 draw with Vasco in the Brazilian Championship. Despite being interested in Filipe Luís, the club from Minas Gerais moved forward to finalize the hiring of Artur Jorge, former Botafogo coach.

According to information from the Central da Toca profile, Cruzeiro sent an official proposal to coach Artur Jorge just a few hours after the initial contacts. Thus, the club from Minas Gerais is negotiating the payment of the Portuguese coach’s release clause.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE RELEASE CLAUSE?

Artur Jorge is at Al Rayyan (CAT) and has a release clause ranging from 5 to 6 million euros (between R$ 30 and R$ 36 million at the current exchange rate). Finally, the Portuguese coach has a salary of about R$ 3.2 million.

TITE DISMISSED FROM CRUZEIRO?

Cruzeiro announced the departure of coach Tite after the 3-3 draw with Vasco at Mineirão last Sunday (15). The Belo Horizonte club could not break through Vasco's defense and secure a victory, even with an extra player.

IS FILIPE LUÍS A TARGET FOR CRUZEIRO?

Besides Artur Jorge, Cruzeiro is also eyeing the signing of Filipe Luís, but there have been no advances with the former Flamengo coach. The manager does not wish to accept an offer in Brazilian football at the moment, focusing on a move to Europe.

Filipe Luís was dismissed from Flamengo on March 3, after an 8-0 victory against Madureira at Maracanã, in the Carioca Championship. Finally, the Most Beloved acted quickly and signed with the Portuguese Leonardo Jardim, who was with Cruzeiro in 2025.
