Club America is currently executing its plans for the second half of 2026, following their elimination in the Quarterfinals of the Clausura 2026 by Pumas. The blue-and-yellow management has begun making decisions to reshape the team, and one of the most notable actions is the potential sale of Brian Rodríguez. According to the Brazilian media outlet Globo, the player has been offered to Cruzeiro, and the club has set a price of over 10 million dollars for his transfer. Cruzeiro is looking for an ideal player to strengthen their attack, and Rodríguez is an appealing name. The Cruzeiro management considers this position a priority and has received inquiries about the Uruguayan, who is practically assured of being included in the call-up for the 2026 World Cup. However, they have not yet decided whether to initiate negotiations with Club America or withdraw from the offer. Interest in Brian Rodríguez is not new; Cruzeiro had shown interest in him during last year's transfer market. At that time, the club was under the management of Leonardo Jardim, and he is now also part of Artur Jorge's project. A point in Rodríguez's favor is his fluency in Portuguese, which could facilitate his adaptation to Brazilian football. Since last year, Rodríguez's camp has sought his exit from Club America. In the summer transfer market of 2025, his representative Edgardo Lasalvia pressured the management to allow the player to leave, but it did not materialize. In October, Club America renewed the Uruguayan's contract until the summer of 2029, allowing them to negotiate his exit in this post-World Cup transfer window. In the Clausura 2026, Brian Rodríguez had a notable performance, playing 1219 minutes in 17 matches, 14 of which were as a starter, scoring 6 goals and providing 2 assists.
