“Take Luan to Cruzeiro,” the Corinthians fan told Ronaldo

Ronaldo, senior partner of SAF do Cruzeiro, was at the Neo Química Arena on Sunday (16/4) during Raposa’s 2-1 defeat against Corinthians, in the team’s debut in the Brazilian championship. Still on the field, Fénomeno found some São Paulo fans, and a Corinthians fan suggested: “Take Luan to Cruzeiro.”

The unusual mention from a Corinthians fan went viral on social media, with this fan recommending a rival to sign a player from his side. Ronaldo, who was passing through several fans, was accompanied by security and did not respond to the speeches of the fans.

‘Recommended’ by Corinthians fans to Cruzeiro, Luan was elected South American Player of the Year in 2017, when he won the Libertadores title with Grêmio. Thanks to his brilliance, the midfielder was rumored in Europe and even appeared in the Brazilian national team, but he slipped in form and did not play well for several seasons.

Luan’s current moment

In 2020, Corinthians paid 5 million euros to hire the player, but he failed to shine in the Sao Paulo shirt. In 80 matches, Luan scored 11 goals, four of which were in the group stage of Sudamericana and two more goals in a friendly tournament in the United States.

Luan’s poor performance drew a wave of criticism from fans, who kept “pointing” Luan to competitors. In 2022, the midfielder was on the field with Corinthians for three chances, all of them for Paulista, and was not involved in the goals.

In doing so, he removed the athletic board and, in August 2022, loaned the athlete to Santos. However, he did not appear again. In eight matches, Luan scored a goal, gave an assist and returned to Corinthians, a team in which he only trains separately, that is, the midfielder has not been on the field since November 10 last year.
