Walace is set to join Cruzeiro.

The transfer is not concluded yet, but the negotiations are well underway. Details, medical visits, and signatures are pending. Walace's desire to return to his homeland played a significant role in the decision.

Although the deal is not concluded, discussions with Cruzeiro's management have taken place. The operation is well underway, with details, medical visits, and signing still pending. Cruzeiro is very keen on Walace, who also wants to return to his homeland despite his attachment to Udinese. The new coach prefers a different style of play, which might lead to replacing Walace with a different type of player.

Walace has a contract expiring in 2026 but has long expressed a desire to try a new experience. Several Brazilian clubs are ready to bring him back to his homeland, with Cruzeiro making the most convincing move with an offer of 8 million plus 2 million in bonuses.
