At the start of the week, Inter had already agreed to Cruzeiro's proposal for the 25-year-old defender.

Cruzeiro has internally considered Vitão as a transfer target in what is described as a complex scenario. After Cruzeiro made an inquiry to understand the player's situation, Internacional stated they will only negotiate his transfer for 10 million euros (approximately R$ 62 million). Cruzeiro considers this value unrealistic, particularly as Vitão has only one year remaining on his contract, and the management is discouraged from making a high investment. Furthermore, the player's staff has informed Internacional that there is no possibility of a contract renewal. Cruzeiro's coach, Tite, has also indicated a positive stance regarding Vitão's situation.

Cruzeiro has made initial contact and consulted on the conditions for a deal for Internacional's 25-year-old Brazilian centre-back Vitão, according to ESPN. While interested, Cruzeiro is still evaluating whether to make a formal offer, as Internacional's asking price is considered a potential obstacle. Internacional holds 80% of Vitão's economic rights and wants 10 million euros for the transfer. Vitão's contract expires at the end of 2026, and he is not expected to renew it. In recent weeks, Flamengo and Palmeiras also made inquiries about Vitão but did not advance their interest. It is reported that they are unwilling to meet the valuation for a player with a relatively short time left on his contract. The site 'Goal' first reported Cruzeiro's interest, which was later confirmed by ESPN. Vitão joined Internacional in July 2024 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €10 million. In January 2025, a proposal from Flamengo was rejected. The proposal was reportedly valued at a total of €10 million, consisting of €6 million in cash and €4 million in debt forgiveness.
