Atlético-MG players deny internal crisis amid poor form

Atlético-MG players have publicly rejected claims of an internal locker room crisis following a difficult stretch in the 2026 season. The team is currently facing pressure after suffering four consecutive defeats during a decisive period of the calendar.

Players including Bernard, Cuello, Maycon, and Igor Gomes have addressed the situation, acknowledging the team's difficulties on the pitch while maintaining confidence in the squad's ability to recover. Cuello emphasized the need for mental strength and a reduction in errors, while Maycon noted challenges in both offensive and defensive sectors.

Separately, the club is reportedly evaluating the potential sale of left-back Kaua Pascini. The player, a standout in the Brazilian U-20 national team, has attracted interest from Italian club AS Roma. While Juventus has also shown interest, no formal proposal has been made. The club's management is expected to seek a significant transfer fee, and manager Eduardo Domínguez has suggested that any sale should ideally occur in the 2027 season.
