Negotiations have been reactivated between Vélez and Cruzeiro for the transfer of Valentín Gómez. He was absent from a recent match officially due to illness, but the negotiations are ongoing.

Cruzeiro has reopened discussions with Vélez regarding the acquisition of Valentín Gómez. Earlier in the year, the transfer was unsuccessful as Gómez did not pass the medical examination due to a knee issue. Cruzeiro is keen on securing Gómez, though he is prioritizing a move to Europe. His representatives are currently in Europe attempting to find a club for him. A potential deal with Udinese in Italy was previously close but ultimately fell through. In January, it appeared that Cruzeiro had reached an agreement for a transfer fee of approximately 9 million dollars, but the transfer did not go through as Cruzeiro's president indicated that the group was complete following the arrival of Fabrício Bruno.

In January 2025, at the player's request, negotiations began with Cruzeiro for his transfer. Initial offers from the Brazilian club amounted to around 10,000,000 dollars gross, but were unsatisfactory for Vélez as they involved payments over 2 years without guarantees. Finally, Cruzeiro proposed a single payment of 8.5 million gross, which was accepted by Vélez, but Cruzeiro later withdrew from the deal.
