As Cruzeiro aims to secure a direct spot in the Libertadores via the Brasileiro, the club is weighing up the future of several players, including Lucas Villalba. The Argentine defender's contract ends at the end of the season, and there has been no official decision on his renewal. Villalba has expressed his desire to stay, but the club has yet to respond with a formal offer.
The 26-year-old has received offers from Argentine football, but he prioritizes renewing with Cruzeiro. However, he is waiting for a signal from the club, which has been delayed. Cruzeiro plans to reinforce the sector for 2027, which may impact Villalba's future at the club.
