Cruzeiro rejected Flamengo's first offer for Kaio Jorge

Amid the pre-season, the transfer market remains busy, with Flamengo searching for new players. Thus, the Most Beloved made a proposal to sign Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro. After the offer, Pedro Lourenço, owner of the club’s SAF from Minas Gerais, commented on the negotiation and set the price for the striker.

— Flamengo made an offer, and we made a counter-offer. The offer that Flamengo presented does not satisfy us, as has already been said. To sell Kaio Jorge, we want 50 million euros (R$ 326.3 million at the current exchange rate). That is our price — said Pedro Lourenço, owner of Cruzeiro, in an interview with Rádio Itatiaia.

WHAT WAS FLAMENGO'S OFFER?

Flamengo’s first proposal to Cruzeiro for Kaio Jorge happened this past weekend. The red-and-black team offered 30 million euros (R$ 195.8 million at the current exchange rate) for the striker from the Minas Gerais team. In the end, the Belo Horizonte club refused.

WHAT IS KAIO JORGE'S SITUATION?

Thus, Kaio Jorge was the top scorer of the Brazilian Championship this season. The Brazilian striker scored 21 goals for Cruzeiro, surpassing names like Arrascaeta, with 18, and Vitor Roque, with 16.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

At the moment, Flamengo has only Pedro as a player who plays the role inside the box. That’s because Juninho was transferred to Pumas (MEX) right after the end of the Club World Cup. Finally, Carlinhos was loaned to Remo.
