Marquinhos and Wanderson were very used by Leonardo Jardim, but were for the end of the line among attackers in 2026. The pair, who arrived at Cruzeiro in 2025, have seen their playing time dwindle under current coach Artur Jorge. Despite being part of the main training group, they have not featured in the team's last 13 matches, with Wanderson playing just one game as a starter.
Globo Esporte Futebol reports that the duo will likely continue without regular playing time until the end of the season, as Cruzeiro focuses on the Campeonato Brasileiro. However, both players are expected to be available for transfer in the next season, with Wanderson's contract set to expire in December 2028 and Marquinhos' deal ending in 2027.
