De la Cruz has a contract with Flamengo until June 2028, but the club is not opposed to negotiating his transfer. The player is frequently associated with teams in South American football, but at this time Flamengo has not received any proposals for him. De la Cruz desires more playing time, particularly with the World Cup taking place next year.

Nicolás de la Cruz, the Uruguayan midfielder and a standout player at Flamengo, has been attracting interest from several European teams. Flamengo acquired him for over 14 million euros in January, and he has since become a key figure in the team. The club reportedly is not willing to let him go for less than 20 million euros. His performance has been crucial for Flamengo, playing a vital role in both defensive and offensive phases. European clubs are said to be closely monitoring his progress, with his future possibly being decided in the coming months.
