Numbers and performance of the forward

Bolasie arrived at Cruzeiro at the beginning of the year, coming from Criciúma, and showed a promising start in the Campeonato Mineiro. In the State Championship, the forward found the net three times in ten games. However, as the season progressed, he lost his place in the team.

In the Copa Sudamericana, Bolasie scored just one goal, and throughout the entire Brasileirão, he failed to score. His overall numbers fell short of what was expected by the board and fans.

In total, he played 33 matches wearing the celestial shirt, scored four goals, and contributed three assists.

Club’s gratitude

In a statement released on social media, Cruzeiro expressed gratitude to the athlete. “Thank you very much, Bolasie! Cruzeiro thanks you for all your dedication, professionalism, and for the joy you brought every day and in the memorable videos. Wishing you success in the next steps of your career,” the club declared.

Restructuring for 2026

With Bolasie’s departure confirmed, Cruzeiro continues its restructuring process for the 2026 season. The club is seeking reinforcements to strengthen its offensive performance and achieve better results next year.
