Cruzeiro is interested in signing Gabriel Pec, a 25-year-old Brazilian winger from Los Angeles Galaxy. The negotiations are considered complicated, primarily due to financial issues. In conversations with the player's staff, the Major League Soccer club indicated a price of 10 million dollars for an immediate release, the same amount they paid to acquire him from Vasco in 2024. Currently, Cruzeiro does not intend to pay this amount.

The prospect of a deal is not considered optimistic, as the club from Minas Gerais does not believe LA Galaxy will significantly reduce their asking price. Pec is described as a key player for the American team, having scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 20 games this season, and is under contract until the end of 2028. The Brazil U23 international has also been linked with Napoli and Atlético Madrid. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €7.00m.
