According to ge, Pedro, Gerson, Alexsandro, Danilo, Wesley, and Léo Ortiz are part of the initial list made by the new Brazilian national team coach.
The information was revealed by the website on Saturday (17), when the CBF sent out notifications, requesting the release of all clubs involved in the call-up.
The final list, with 23 names, will be announced by the Italian himself on the 26th, during his presentation in Rio de Janeiro.
The coach's first challenges at the helm of Brazil will be against Ecuador on June 5th in Guayaquil, and Paraguay on the 10th at the Arena Corinthians in São Paulo.

To meet a FIFA requirement, the CBF must notify the clubs of the called-up players 15 days before the presentation, which will take place on the 2nd.
That's why the notification was made on Saturday afternoon.
Carlo Ancelotti defined the preliminary list in meetings with the director of selections, Rodrigo Caetano, and the technical coordinator, Juan, during the week in Madrid.
The preliminary list has around 50 names and will be reduced to 23 players, who will be announced by the coach during his presentation.
The CBF made the initial list of 52 players public in March, but this time will keep it secret, according to ge.

Rodrygo arrival would force another Man City transfer
Monday certainly started with a bang with the news that Tottenham had approached Manchester City over the signing of Savinho. The Brazilian only joined the Blues last year and has been talked up as a big part of their future, so even mention of a possible departure is a surprise. As soon as the talks were revealed, it didn't take long before alternatives were suggested. Xavi Simons and Rodrygo were mooted as potential replacements should a deal for Savinho go through. It would almost be worth signing Rodrygo just so City don't have to play against him again. The Brazilian has been the thorn in their Champions League side on more than one occasion in the epic tussles between the two clubs, showing that he can make the difference and generate goals on the biggest stages. READ MORE: Antony's private meeting with new Manchester United signing amid transfer exit wait READ MORE: One b********g already - inside the new Manchester United leadership group His stock has fallen slightly at the Bernabeu since Kylian Mbappe's arrival and the need for the French superstar to be integrated into the team alongside Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. Carlo Ancelotti was unable to get the blend right last year and new coach Xabi Alonso left Rodrygo out of his starting XI for the last five of their six Club World Cup matches. As exciting a signing as Rodrygo would be for City, it would leave them in the same position as they are now: needing to sell another first-team player for their Champions League squad. UEFA allow just 17 non-homegrown players to be registered and even allowing for the likely departures of Stefan Ortega (permanently), Sverre Nypan and Claudio Echeverri (both loan) the Blues have 18. Selling Savinho would drop City down to the magic number, but bringing in Rodrygo - or indeed any other non-homegrown player - as a replacement puts City back to needing a cut. Leaving a senior player out of the squad has generally been seen as a snub that Pep Guardiola would want to avoid, meaning an exit would be sorted for any star who was likely to be left out. There would be no need for that if Savinho goes and isn't replaced, but while it isn't a reason not to sign Rodrygo it would present City with the same Champions League issue if they did. --- Here at the Manchester Evening News, we're dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester City coverage and analysis.

Botafogo agree deal with Cherries for goalkeeper Neto
THE Cherries have agreed a deal with Brazilian club Botafogo for goalkeeper Neto, the Daily Echo understands. The veteran stopper is set to travel to Brazil to complete a medical and finalise the move, after falling down the pecking order at Bournemouth. The move will be a big saving for the Cherries on their wage bill, as one of the club's highest earners, on top of the £4million that the club got for Irish keeper Mark Travers as he moved to Everton. It is also part of the club's plan to move squad players on, with Joe Rothwell moving to Rangers and Jaidon Anthony joining Burnley. That pair, along with Neto, Travers and Max Aarons, all went on loans last season and have moved on this summer, although Aarons has gone on another loan, joining up with Rothwell at Rangers. Neto has been at the Cherries since August 2022, when he joined from Barcelona. He has played 63 times for the club, keeping 13 clean sheets. In his first season in Dorset, he played 28 times for the club, displacing Travers as the club's number one and becoming the club captain in February 2023. The following season saw him feature 32 times in the Premier League for the Cherries, but he fell out of favour at Dean Court as Kepa Arrizabalaga was signed on loan from Chelsea for the 24/25 campaign. That prompted him to join Arsenal on loan, where he played only once, featuring against Girona in the Champions League, after arriving in London cup-tied. But returning to Bournemouth this summer, he was among those who went on loans who were likely to move on, with the move back to Brazil the best for both parties as he was no longer number one, particularly after the signing of Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea. The 36-year-old now looks set to complete his move away from Dorset as he heads to Botafogo.
