Pedrinho BH schedules meeting to hire another reinforcement for Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro has stepped up its movement in the transfer market by formalizing a proposal to Internacional for the signing of 21-year-old defender Victor Gabriel. The defender, who belongs to Sport , is currently on loan to the Rio Grande do Sul club, which has not yet concluded the definitive acquisition of his economic rights.

The negotiations are being conducted directly by Pedro Lourenço, manager of Cruzeiro's SAF. The director even met with Alessandro Barcellos, president of Internacional, in order to discuss the terms of a possible transaction. Despite the meeting, there has been no concrete progress, as Inter, at this time, has not indicated whether it intends to accept the proposal. The information is from 'ge'.

Victor Gabriel is seen as a strategic player for the Celeste squad. The player's possible arrival is in response to a request from coach Leonardo Jardim, who considers strengthening the defense a priority. In fact, the defender's name has been monitored for weeks, especially after the difficulties faced by Cruzeiro in trying to sign Argentine Valentín Gómez, whose high cost made the negotiation unfeasible.

Internacional is currently preparing to acquire 50% of Victor Gabriel's rights from Sport, for around R$3 million. The Rio Grande do Sul club is also interested in buying another 20%, which is directly linked to the player. Therefore, negotiations are underway to secure 70% of the defender's economic rights.

Despite being sidelined due to a ligament injury in his right ankle, the defender has achieved significant results this season: he has played 20 matches, scored three goals and recorded one assist. The latest update on his clinical condition indicates that he is in the recovery phase.

Finally, Cruzeiro continues to seek to strengthen itself for the rest of the year, in which it will compete in both the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil. It currently occupies second place in the Brasileirão, tied on points with leader Flamengo , losing only on goal difference.
