Léo Moral, Rhuan Gabriel's agent, used social media to publicly criticize Cruzeiro and request the 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder's release to Palmeiras. According to Moral, Palmeiras would sign the midfielder on loan, with 70% of his rights valued at 5 million euros, and Cruzeiro would retain a percentage for a future sale. Moral also argued that a manager at Palmeiras named Abel would give the player opportunities, which could result in a more profitable future sale for Cruzeiro. However, sources connected to Palmeiras informed ge that no such proposal for the player exists. The player has two caps for Brazil's U20 team, is under contract with Cruzeiro until the end of 2029, and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €300k.
