If, and I understand it should be finalized, he will only transfer on August 12th, when he turns 18,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The director also revealed that the deal has the potential to make history for the club, possibly becoming the biggest sale ever made by Cruzeiro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis negotiation has the potential, over time, to become the biggest transfer in Cruzeiro&#8217;s history. It shows the greatness of the club, one of the most successful in Brazil and South America, and the club also positions itself this way in the market. I think this transfer becoming the biggest is something important and will consolidate Cruzeiro where the fans deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><em>This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. <a href=\"https:\/\/onefootball.com\/pt-br\/noticias\/dortmund-acerta-com-joia-de-gigante-da-serie-a-crava-romano-42423438\">You can read the original version in \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7 here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/dortmund-agree-deal-serie-giant-114600448.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/dortmund-agree-deal-serie-giant-114600448.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83e\udd1d Dortmund agree deal for Serie A giant\u2019s starlet, claims Romano If the transfer wizard has spoken, it&#8217;s settled!
