Cruzeiro is in the final stages of negotiating the transfer of 18‑year‑old midfielder Zé Lucas from Sport. The club has sent an official offer and expects to sign the player by the end of the week, with interest also reported from Flamengo and several European teams.

Meanwhile, two former Portuguesa players, forward Keven Coloni and right‑back Jotta, have scored their first goals for their new clubs. Coloni netted for Boavista‑RJ in a 4‑0 Copa Rio win, while Jotta opened the scoring for EC São Bernardo in a 3‑1 Copa Paulista victory.
