Expectation and caution from the board
Pedro Lourenço, owner of SAF of Cruzeiro, reinforced the importance of defining the situation by the stipulated deadline, while the CEO Alexandre Mattos highlighted that, although there is mutual interest, the deal will only be confirmed with the signing of a contract.

Impact on Santos and undefined future
Signing a pre-contract with Cruzeiro would frustrate the plans of Santos, Gabigol's training club. After guaranteeing access to the 2025 Series A, the São Paulo team presented an official proposal and awaits response in December.
