Cruzeiro see young talents rise, expect offers at season’s end | OneFootball

The good performance of Cruzeiro on the field has once again put the club from Minas Gerais in the spotlight in the market.

With a focus on the young players from the academy and the main squad, the management has already received inquiries and expects official proposals by the end of the season.

The information was released by the website ge.

Among the most valued names are the full-backs Kaiki Bruno and Kauã Prates. Kaiki, a starter for the team, was targeted by Zenit from Russia and Italian clubs – Cruzeiro will only negotiate for amounts above 10 million euros.

Meanwhile, Kauã, aged 17, caught the attention of Borussia Dortmund, which sent scouts to Mineirão.

In the under-20 category, the defender Bruno Alves leads the list of monitored prospects. Called up for the World Cup in his category, he has a contract until 2029 and has been approached by teams from the United States and Europe.

Other young players with sales potential include Rhuan Gabriel, Murilo Rhikman, Otávio, Cauan Baptistella, and Rayan Lelis.

The forward Tevis, loaned to Athletico-PR, may also be negotiated permanently, although he has played little in recent months.

Since the arrival of coach Leonardo Jardim and head scout Joaquim Pinto, Cruzeiro has been betting on a recruitment model that combines sporting and financial returns.

Names like Keny Arroyo and Kauã Moraes have arrived under this profile, with an investment exceeding R$ 60 million.

With this new policy and valued young players, the club sees the next transfer window as an opportunity to profit and consolidate its project of talent development and resale.
