Como push for Kaiki, transfer gains momentum and should go through | OneFootball

Kaiki’s transfer to European football has gained momentum again in recent days. According to information gathered by Central da Toca, confirmed by our reporting, Como of Italy managed to resolve points considered crucial in the negotiation and resumed the process of signing Cruzeiro’s left-back.

Talks between the parties had recently cooled after disagreements involving the player’s contract terms. Although Cruzeiro had already given a positive signal to the proposal presented by the Italians, an agreement was still needed between the European club and the player’s representatives regarding the 20% that belongs to them for the deal to be completed.

According to the report, the progress made in recent days has brought the parties closer to a definitive agreement. As a result, the expectation is that the negotiation will be finalized in the coming weeks, paving the way for the player’s transfer during the mid-year transfer window.

Cruzeiro will receive €14 million (around R$ 82.6 million at the current exchange rate) for the 80% of the left-back’s rights that it owns.

A product of Cruzeiro’s youth academy, Kaiki got his first opportunities with the senior team in 2021, but he established himself in the main squad in the following years. In 2025, the full-back played 51 matches and became one of the team’s key players. In the current season, he has maintained his run as a starter and has begun to attract interest from several foreign clubs.

In total, Kaiki has made 129 appearances in the light blue shirt, scoring two goals and providing ten assists. His recent performances also earned him a call-up to the senior Brazil national team during the World Cup cycle, and he was included in the preliminary squad drawn up by Carlo Ancelotti.

Cruzeiro’s board has already been working for several weeks with the possibility of losing the player in this transfer window. Not by chance, the club moved early in the market and recently completed the signing of Argentine Gabriel Rojas, formerly of Racing, officially announced on a contract until the end of 2029.

In addition to Kaiki, another left-back in the squad, Kauã Prates, is also on his way out. The youngster was sold to Borussia Dortmund and will move to Germany next month.
