The player has not been on the pitch even once this season and is of interest to Cruzeiro
Santos defender Luiz Felipe has piqued Cruzeiro’s interest and has even linked his name to Cuiabá, but Peixe is reconsidering releasing him. An important piece in recent times, in the current season the player has not yet played official matches with coach Odair Hellmann in charge.
Furthermore, the athlete was not even among those listed in the duel against Iguatu, for the Copa do Brasil, last week. However, the act of stopping the departure of an asset from the non-playing club often has an explanation: a lack of faith in other squad options.
In 2023, Santos hired Messias and Joaquim for defense. Eduardo Bauermann, Maicon and Luiz Felipe himself were already in the alvinegro team.
Joaquim sprained his right ankle and a medial ligament tear was found following tests. The official deadline for the player’s return is not yet known, but it shouldn’t be available, for example, in Peixe’s next engagement in Sudamericana, which could take place in early April.
In other words, the reinforcement that has taken the starting position is one less option for the sector, according to the current scenario.
Meanwhile, the performance of Messias and Maicon is not convincing.
The former Ceará player has had more opportunities, making up for the absence of injured players and has six games in the season. The ‘God of Zaga’, on the other hand, is trusted by the coaching staff for having played an important leadership role, but suffers constant criticism from the fans due to their performances.
Maicon has become even very booed in Vila Belmiro during the derby against Corinthians, which ended in a 2-2 draw for Paulistão.
AND LUIZ FELIPE WITH THIS?
After losing space, the defender awaits official offers and intends to leave the club to have more minutes on the pitch.
However, with the current situation of the athletes in charge, Luiz Felipe can earn a ‘survival’ at Santos, even if he welcomes a ‘change of air’.
Even reconsidering the departure, Alvinegro Praiano tends to treat the player if an advantageous offer appears.
