Pedrão has recovered from a serious knee injury and Cruzeiro will transfer him during the mid-year transfer window. The defender is not part of the plans of Artur Jorge's coaching staff and is training separately at Toca da Raposa. The club has permitted Pedrão's staff to look for other clubs. Pedrão has recently received inquiries from Brazilian clubs and from clubs abroad, but a decision on his future is not being made quickly.
