The information was confirmed by Pedro Lourenço, owner of the club’s SAF, who also revealed the renewal of Kaio Jorge until 2030 and stated that the agreement with Matheus Pereira is well underway.

“Gerson is a guy who plays in several positions. We’ve finalized the squad, a strong group that we have, and we’re going to continue with this group,” said Pedrinho in an interview with ESPN.

Regarding Matheus Pereira, the executive expressed optimism about the midfielder’s stay. “The situation with Matheus Pereira is progressing well. I had a conversation with him just now and I hope that in at most five days we’ll have this sorted out so the squad will be all set,” he said.

As for Kaio Jorge, Pedrinho was straightforward in confirming the contract extension. “Everything is set with Kaio Jorge. He’ll sign and stay with us until 2030,” he added.

Top scorer of the 2025 Brasileirão, Kaio Jorge even received offers from Flamengo, but Cruzeiro decided it will not sell the striker to the Rio de Janeiro club.
