According to Lancenet, Cruzeiro want to bring the out-of-favour 22-year-old in on a temporary basis. With Wallyson likely to miss the rest of the season through injury, the club are hopeful to bring in an attacking replacement.

However, as the international transfer window is now closed for clubs in Brazil, they would be relying on Santos to renew Keirrison’s loan, and then ‘re-loan’ him to Cruzeiro, which is permitted in Brazil and would count as a domestic transfer.

Keirrison joined Barca from Palmeiras for €14 million in 2009, but is yet to make his competitive debut for the Catalan giants. He has had unsuccessful loan spells with Benfica, Fiorentina and Santos over the past two years.
