The Brazilian club Cruzeiro is closely monitoring the situation of Al-Hilal player, Caio Cesar, in an effort to sign him during the ongoing summer transfer window, should the club's management open the door for his departure.

Reports indicate that Cruzeiro officials plan to enter into formal negotiations as soon as the player's fate becomes clear, following the decision of the coaching staff led by Italian Simone Inzaghi regarding his continuation or departure.

Al-Hilal had signed the Brazilian star in the last winter transfer window, coming from Portuguese club Vitoria Guimarães, in a deal worth around 10 million euros.

Caio Cesar has played 21 matches with Al-Hilal across various competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists, leaving a good mark despite his short time with the team.

Inzaghi's upcoming decision remains the decisive factor in the player's future, whether relying on him for the new season or allowing him to return to Brazil through the Cruzeiro gateway.
