Palmeiras set to loan Raphael Veiga to América-MEX, see the details | OneFootball

The departure of Raphael Veiga from Palmeiras is close to happening. The São Paulo club has arranged the transfer of the player to América, of Mexico. The contract is a loan until the end of the year, with a purchase option.

This season, Raphael Veiga played three matches, starting in two of them: against Santos and Novorizontino. Last Wednesday, in the 2-2 draw with Atlético-MG, in the Brasileirão opener, Veiga did not leave the bench at Arena MRV.

Although Abel Ferreira stated that he counts on the midfielder for the rest of the season, after the derby against São Paulo, the coach is set to lose yet another of his captains in recent years.

If the departure of the number 23 is confirmed, it will be the fifth from the club this season. Previously, Aníbal Moreno, Facundo Torres, Micael, and Weverton had already said their goodbyes.

The information about the progress of the negotiation was first published by Uol and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Veiga’s numbers with Palmeiras

Raphael Veiga became an idol at Palmeiras. The midfielder won 11 titles over eight seasons with the club, including two Libertadores. In addition, he scored 108 goals and provided 53 assists in 379 matches wearing the green and white shirt.

However, last season, the 30-year-old player was inconsistent and lost his place. He has a contract with Verdão until the end of March 2027.
