In a brief statement to the press as he was leaving the training center, the businessman reassured Cruzeiro fans about the midfielder’s transfer and said he will arrive this Friday. “Everything is fine (with the negotiation for Gerson). He arrives tomorrow,” said Pedro Lourenço.

Regarding Kaio Jorge, the main name in Cruzeiro’s squad, the executive ruled out any possibility of his departure. “Everything is settled. He belongs to Cruzeiro, there are no offers. He’s staying here at Cruzeiro,” he assured.

Top scorer of the last Brazilian Championship, Kaio Jorge scored 21 goals in 33 matches and attracted the interest of Flamengo, who were looking to strengthen their attack. The red-and-black club even made offers for the striker, with amounts estimated at around R$ 207 million.

The offers, however, were rejected by Cruzeiro’s board, who kept the forward in the squad for the remainder of the season.
