Krasnodar, from Russia, submitted a new proposal to Cruzeiro for the 25-year-old midfielder, Christian, according to information from Central da Toca and Samuca TV. Negotiations are taking place under complete secrecy, but it is known that the Russians have improved the terms in relation to the first attempt made at the beginning of the month, which was around 7 million dollars (around 36.2 million reais) and was rejected by Cruzeiro's management. The potential departure involves a key player in coach Artur Jorge's system. Enjoying the best phase of his career in 2026, Christian has already played 33 games this year, with eight goals and three assists, standing out for his versatility in playing both as a defensive midfielder and on the wings. Since arriving at the club last year, the player has accumulated 80 appearances, 13 goals and seven assists.
