The 34-year-old has spent three years at the club following his return from Japan in 2008 and has played an important role for the club over the period, but now looks set to depart.
Just last night, incoming Cruzeiro President Gilvan Tavares had stated that the midfielder would stay at the club. However, it seems the relationship has broken down in one direction at least as agent Guilherme Mendes confirmed that the club had ‘given up’ on his client.
Favourites for the player’s signature appear to be Sport Recife, the newly promoted North-Eastern side.
