Zé Ivaldo, on loan at Santos from Cruzeiro until the end of the year, will be purchased permanently by the São Paulo club. The transfer became mandatory after the defender met a clause in his loan agreement by playing in 60% of the matches for which he was available. He reportedly reached this target after starting in the last three Brasileirão games, following a season where his playing time had fluctuated. To sign the player, Santos will have to pay a fee of 1 million dollars, equivalent to about R$ 5.3 million. The information was initially reported by 'Central da Toca', and ESPN later confirmed that the contractual obligation had been fulfilled.
