The next two seasons, the player again played in the Mexican club. Its name was “Cruz Azul”.

There two seasons played Mauro Camoranesi. Achieving an even more professional gaming level could not go unnoticed. This time, Juventus representatives drew attention to the midfielder. And they agreed with the leadership of Verona that they would redeem half the rights to this player.
