The Brazilian who has just won the Mexican Apertura championship with his Tigres side is a popular figure in the black and white side of Belo Horizonte having been a key figure in the 2006 Serie B winning side – before his move to Mexico.
Defensive midfielder Leandro Donizete was the Alvinegro’s first summer signing, whilst Danilinho will look to form a lively partnership with fellow attacking-midfielder Bernard.
Others rumoured to be on the radar for Galo are Ávine, Wesley and Diego Tardelli.
