Cruzeiro receive fresh bid for Christian | OneFootball

Krasnodar, from Russia, has submitted a new offer to Cruzeiro for 25-year-old midfielder Christian, according to reports by Central da Toca and Samuca TV.

Negotiations are ongoing under absolute secrecy, but it is known that the Russians improved the terms compared to the first attempt made at the beginning of the month, which was around US$ 7 million (about R$ 36.2 million) and had been rejected by Cruzeiro’s board.

The potential departure involves a key player in coach Artur Jorge’s system.

Enjoying the best spell of his career in 2026, Christian has made 33 appearances this year, with eight goals and three assists, standing out for his versatility in playing both as a defensive midfielder and on the flanks.

Since arriving at the club last year, the player has totaled 80 matches, 13 goals and seven assists.
