Flamengo and Cruzeiro Continue Negotiations for Kaio Jorge

Flamengo is actively negotiating with Cruzeiro for the signing of forward Kaio Jorge for the next season. Amidst the second proposal for the player, the Minas Gerais club presented a counterproposal. Finally, the offer was rejected by Mengo.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Cruzeiro demanded the inclusion of Luiz Araújo as part of the deal for Kaio Jorge. However, Flamengo informed the Minas Gerais club that they would not include the number 7 in the negotiation.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF FLAMENGO'S MESSAGE?

Flamengo made a second proposal for Kaio Jorge. The red-black club offered 24 million euros (R$ 155.6 million at the current exchange rate) and Everton Cebolinha. Additionally, they included a 10% sell-on clause. However, the offer was rejected by Cruzeiro.

Amidst the second proposal from Flamengo, Cruzeiro positioned itself and presented a counterproposal. The Belo Horizonte club requested Luiz Araújo instead of Everton Cebolinha and also demanded 30 million euros (R$ 194 million at the current exchange rate). However, Mengo refused.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO AND CRUZEIRO?

Thus, the negotiation between Flamengo and Cruzeiro for Kaio Jorge is ongoing. At the moment, the Belo Horizonte club is playing hardball to sell the forward. In a recent interview, Pedro Lourenço, owner of Cruzeiro's SAF, stated that he would only sell the player for 50 million euros (R$ 324.2 million at the current exchange rate).

— Flamengo made a proposal, and we made another proposal. The proposal that Flamengo made does not satisfy us, which is what they said out there. To sell Kaio, we want 50 million euros (R$ 324.2 million at the current exchange rate). That is our price —, said Pedro Lourenço.
