Atletico Mineiro is set to activate the purchase option for defender Ruan, who has become an indispensable piece in the club's defense throughout the season. After a rocky start, where he arrived surrounded by skepticism, Ruan established himself as a key starter and gained the trust of the coaching staff. The defender, who is on loan from Sassuolo in Italy, has a contract with the club until the end of June, and the purchase option is set at around 3.5 million euros. With only two weeks left until the loan agreement expires, the expectation is that Atletico Mineiro will activate this clause to secure his permanence. Since his debut, Ruan has stood out for his consistency and defensive security, being the center-back with the most minutes and matches played in the team. His versatility and strength in aerial duels have also been crucial for the alvinegra defense. Ruan's permanence is seen as a priority for Atletico Mineiro, which aims to strengthen its squad for the remainder of the season.
