Cruzeiro received an offer from Al Jazira for Tevis and expressed an interest in negotiating due to Tevis's limited playing time at Athletico-PR. The club was also approached by Red Bull Bragantino and Ludogorets, but the negotiations faced complications. This was because Athletico-PR, where Tevis is currently on loan, refused to end his loan prematurely. Athletico-PR made the decision to retain Tevis until the end of the season, as the loan contract lacks a provision for his early return. This decision follows a controversial transfer of Kauã Moraes to Cruzeiro, which has heightened tensions between the clubs.
