The cast re-evaluation is taking place in view of the next season and should be explored further at the end of the year
Palmeiras’ recent stance on centre-forwards indicates that the club is paying attention to the market when it comes to names in the position. The club has changed its stance on Gabigol and has recently shown interest in signing Vitor Roque, who left Barcelona and signed on loan with Betis.
This all comes in the context of the club’s reassessment of the squad, which is expected to be explored at the end of the year. Verdão considered the group closed for this season, even before the knockout stage, and signings tend to be made in the following transfer window.
One of the roles that could change is that of center forward. Currently, the cast includes Flaco López and Rony, and Gabigol was considered as the “plan A” of the sector. But he is no longer the priority of the board, which presented a pre-contractual proposal and received neither a positive nor a negative response. The negotiation has therefore cooled while the striker does not resolve his situation with Flamengo.
Another option that emerged at Palmeiras was Vitor Roque. Barcelona wanted to negotiate for the striker, who intended to stay at the club. Verdão was then interested in signing him on loan, but made no progress in the negotiations.
The former Atletico-PR player’s intention, however, was to stay in Europe. Without the desire to return to Brazil at this time, Vitor Roque has agreed a one-year loan with Betis, with the possibility of extending for another season and buying.
The news of Palmeiras’ interest in Vitor Roque was initially published by “Espn” and confirmed by Lance!.
Palmeiras are not convinced by the names
Flaco López and Rony do not have the highest prestige among Verdão fans. Despite being the top scorer of the season, with 19 goals, the Argentine has wasted clear opportunities in decisive matches. Often criticized on social media, the number 10 has lost his place in the starting team.
After Endrick left for Real Madrid, only the pair remained in the sector, along with the young Luighi, from the youth team. The boy also scored a goal against Flamengo, in the Brasileirão, but was never used again.
