Palmeiras is negotiating the departure of forward Bruno Rodrigues to Cruzeiro on loan. The forward has not had much playing time at the club and may bid farewell to Verdão in this transfer window.
The player was signed in 2024 from Cruzeiro itself, where he stood out in 2023. However, he only gained momentum in the alviverde team starting in September of last year, after recovering from two severe knee injuries. With high competition, the athlete could not establish himself and, this season, played only four games.
Even with Abel Ferreira rotating the squad, giving chances to youth players and those with less experience, Bruno Rodrigues has fallen behind. He was never a starter and played only about 100 minutes in ten games for Palmeiras this year.
Before Cruzeiro, Internacional negotiated the player's loan, but it did not progress.
This season, Palmeiras has already bid farewell to five players: Aníbal Moreno (River Plate), Facundo Torres (Austin FC), Micael (Inter Miami), Weverton (Grêmio), and Raphael Veiga (América-MEX), with the last two on loan with an option to buy.
On the other hand, Marlon Freitas and Jhon Arias have joined. The latter even received the number 11 jersey from Bruno Rodrigues.
In total, for Palmeiras, Bruno Rodrigues 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.
