Cruzeiro agrees to leave Igor Formiga for Portuguese football

The 24-year-old has had little space at Raposa and is heading towards European football

Right-back Igor Formiga leaves Cruzeiro. The player has started negotiations to defend Portimonense, from Portugal. The player’s departure is taken for granted, even with him saying goodbye to his now former team-mates last Thursday.

The information comes from the journalist Samuel Venâncio. When Cruzeiro announced the arrival of 30-year-old Colombian Helibelton Palacios, the right-back had plenty of players for the role. Palacios is a right back, but he also has the versatility to play as a defender.

Cruzeiro have team regular William who is having a great phase of the season and Wesley Gasolina, who was injured in the Campeonato Mineiro but is in the final stages of his recovery after knee surgery. With that, Formiga’s departure becomes important to balance the cast.

According to the journalist, Cruzeiro will still have 30% of the player’s economic rights. Igor Formiga joined Celeste at the beginning of the year, but failed to establish himself as a starter. With that he lost space and now sees a move to European football to gain minutes.

In the celestial transfer market, the club awaits the final details to announce the return of Lucas Silva to Toca da Raposa II. The player has already been seen in Belo Horizonte and should be made official for his third visit in the coming days.
