Brusque in negotiations to extend Joao Cipriano's loan from APOEL

Brazilian club Brusque is currently engaged in urgent negotiations to retain defender Joao Cipriano, whose loan agreement from APOEL is set to expire on July 31, 2026. As of July 30, the parties have not yet reached a formal agreement to extend the player's stay in Brazil.

Brusque management is in constant contact with all involved stakeholders to find a viable solution that would allow the defender to remain with the team beyond the current deadline. The situation remains critical as the deadline approaches rapidly.

If the loan extension is not finalized, Cipriano is expected to return to APOEL to fulfill his contractual obligations with the Cypriot club. Upon his potential return, he would either compete for a position within the APOEL squad or be evaluated for a future transfer to another team.
