ESPN BR reported that the Celeste team approached former Botafogo player Cuiabano, who is now at Nottingham Forest. However, the Minas Gerais team received an unsatisfactory response, as the wingback does not want to return to Brazilian football currently.

Cuiabano of Nottingham Forest, who formerly played for Botafogo, is a target for his old club and Vasco. Cruzeiro also highly rates the player and considers him a market opportunity, potentially making an investment if they can negotiate the sale of one of their own full-backs. The English club will only agree to a permanent transfer for the Brazilian and has set an asking price of ten million euros, equivalent to R$ 63.4 million.
