Cruzeiro Esporte Clube announced the loan of player Japa to Mirassol. The club aims to provide the athlete with more playing time, as he has struggled to establish himself in the first team since rising from the youth ranks in 2023. With a contract until 2030, Japa has had limited participation, totaling only 37 games for the Raposa's first team. In his debut year, he played seven matches, followed by 15 the next season, five in 2025, and just 10 this year. Mirassol, on the other hand, is gearing up for important competitions such as the Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, and the Brazilian Championship. Japa has not played since March, when he started in a match against Athletico-PR. The loan is an opportunity for the player to gain experience and shine in a new environment.
