Reports from December 2025 mention a future release clause in his new Cruzeiro contract valued at over R$300 million (~€51 million) for foreign clubs. Earlier, in September 2025, Vasco da Gama reportedly made a bid of US$2.8 million (~€2.6 million) plus variables, and his Transfermarkt value was listed at €2.8 million. In May 2025, a transfer to Atlético de Madrid was reportedly agreed with Millonarios for a fee between €4 million and €6 million, but the deal was rejected by the player's representatives. In March 2025, FC Porto was reportedly prepared to offer €3 million, while FC Barcelona's interest was capped at a similar figure. In February 2025, Watford was linked with a potential £5 million (~€5.9 million) deal.

Our valuation is driven by the multiple concrete offers and agreements reported throughout 2025 before the player's contract expired. The range is anchored by reported interest from Vasco da Gama and FC Porto around €2.6 million to €3 million at the lower end, and a widely reported agreement between Millonarios and Atlético de Madrid valued between €4 million and €6 million at the higher end. The eventual free transfer to Cruzeiro was a result of a deliberate agent strategy and an expiring contract, not a reflection of the player's intrinsic market value.
