Globo Esporte is reporting that Belo Horizonte based club Cruzeiro are interested in bringing Queens Park Rangers defensive midfielder Sandro back to Brazil ahead of the 2016 season. Sandro, born in Minas, the state where Cruzeiro play, represented Tottenham Hotspur from 2010-2014.

Sandro was an integral part of Internacional’s 2010 Copa Libertadores winning side, before joining Spurs in August 2010. He left Brasileirão 5 years ago, but reports in Brazil suggest that the 2013 and 2014 league champions Cruzeiro will make QPR an offer to bring him home.

A Raposa have been trying to seal a deal for Colombian volante Gustavo Cuellar, but have run into difficulty closing the deal, which has apparently forced them to switch their attention to Sandro, who has been capped 17 times by the Brazilian national side.

Cruzeiro have yet to publicly confirm their interest, but Globo is reporting that a club insider informed them of the club’s interest. At the age of 26, he could bring much needed experience and steel to Cruzeiro’s young team.
