Getafe had shown interest in the 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder Walace over recent weeks. However, Walace had reportedly told his staff that he intended to remain at Cruzeiro, which led to a cessation of discussions. In addition, Girona, another club from Spain, had also expressed interest in signing the midfielder. Despite experiencing limited playing time under coach Leonardo Jardim, Walace remains resolute in his decision to stay at Cruzeiro and pursue titles. The player, who was acquired from Udinese for a fee of approximately 6 million euros, with potential additional payments, is concentrating on securing his position in the team for the rest of the season. His contract with the Brazilian club is valid until the end of 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €4.50 million.
