Forward Gabriel Pec, 25, who had been playing for LA Galaxy, is expected in Belo Horizonte this weekend to undergo medical tests and sign with Cruzeiro.
According to Central da Toca, he will sign a five-season contract with the team.
The club from Minas Gerais will acquire 100% of the player’s economic rights. The payment will be made in installments, including a fixed fee and possible bonuses for targets achieved. The exact figures of the deal have been kept confidential.
In this operation, the American team will be responsible for passing on 30% of the amount to Vasco, which still holds that share. To complete the deal, Cruzeiro also had to beat competition from Bahia, as Pec preferred the Minas Gerais club’s project.
Wearing the Galaxy shirt, Gabriel Pec played 101 matches, scoring 43 goals and providing 27 assists.
In the current 2026 season alone, he already has 15 direct goal contributions in just 20 matches.
