"Igor Julio is wanted by Brazilian side Cruzeiro According to Brazilian journalist Samuel Venancio, Igor Julio, Brighton player who spent time on loan at West Ham this season, is being chased by Cruzeiro. The Brazilian defender made just four appearances for the Hammers during his loan spell from September to January. He initially joined in a season long loan but his loan was cut short in the winter transfer window."
"The 27-year-old centre-back, who can also play as a left-back, is set to be provided an opportunity by a club in his home country to revive his career away from the Premier League where he has found life difficult. Brighton are not in favour of another loan for the defender, they are only looking for a permanent exit for the defender. Palmeiras have been linked with Igor in the past but they were not willing to pay the 6m asking price set by Brighton."
Lucas Paqueta ended his Premier League spell to return to Flamengo seeking more comfort and familiarity. Igor Julio, a 27-year-old Brighton defender who spent a short loan at West Ham, is now being targeted by Cruzeiro. Julio made only four appearances during his loan from September to January before Brighton recalled him in the winter window. Brighton prefer a permanent transfer rather than another loan. Palmeiras previously showed interest but did not meet Brighton's 6m asking price. Cruzeiro have until 3 March to complete a deal, potentially setting Julio against Paqueta when Cruzeiro face Flamengo. Julio can operate at centre-back or left-back and seeks to revive his career away from the Premier League where he struggled for appearances.
