Récord reports that an important club from Russia is targeting Helinho. According to that information, the European club reportedly offered around 10 million euros for the player, though this information has not been confirmed by the club. Carlos Ponce de León confirmed that Toluca received a proposal for Helinho, but that the offer was reportedly not sufficient for the club. The same information indicates that Toluca and the European club are not close to an agreement. The offer also reportedly did not convince Helinho, and negotiations appear to be stalled involving two of the three parties.

Toluca is in very advanced negotiations with CSKA de Moscú for the sale of Helinho. The transfer will be for a fee of $10 million plus $2 million in bonuses if an agreement is reached on the payment method.
