Cruzeiro club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 5 players club-trained at Cruzeiro now play for other clubs we track, led by Igor Thiago (Brentford, value €73m), Kaiki (Como, value €12m) and Thiago Heleno (Athletico PR, value €2m).

• Igor Thiago · Brentford · €73m
• Kaiki · Como · €12m
• Thiago Heleno · Athletico PR · €2m
• Bruno Alves · Norwich City · €800k
• Rafael · São Paulo · €490k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
