Cruzeiro owner comments on player rumours this window

Cruzeiro owner comments on player rumours this window Pedro Lourenço, owner of Cruzeiro’s SAF, decided to put an end to the unrealistic speculation surrounding Raposa’s transfer market. In an interview with TV Cruzeiro, the businessman assured that the management is working with financial responsibility and dismissed rumors of astronomical signings. 🛑 Expectations vs. Reality The executive criticized the creation of “bubbles” of illusion by the media and some fans on social media, even using irony to deny the most absurd rumors: “This is to give an answer to all these questions floating around and people saying that we’re going to have a transfer window where we’ll bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, that we’ll bring in Messi, when in reality that’s not true. [...] We will never do anything crazy in football.” ❌ The Luiz Henrique Case and the Focus on the Academy The name of Luiz Henrique (currently at Zenit) has gained a lot of traction among Cruzeiro fans on social media in recent days. However, Pedro Lourenço was adamant in stating that the forward was never in the club’s plans. Instead of pursuing unrealistic targets, the board is focused on two fronts: Retention and Targeted Reinforcements: The executive recalled the financial efforts already made recently to keep Matheus Pereira and Kaio Jorge, in addition to the major signing of midfielder Gerson. Valuing the Academy: Under coach Artur Jorge — highly praised by Lourenço — the senior squad currently has seven academy youngsters training and earning space. The final message was one of confidence: “Our fans can stay very calm. We are certain that we have a great team.” This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
