Palmeiras bid €25m for Jhon Arias, Flu hold first refusal

Palmeiras continues to dream of signing Jhon Arias and this Tuesday (03), the Verdão made an official offer to Wolverhampton to bring in the Colombian. According to GE, the São Paulo club offered 25 million euros (R$ 154.8 million) for the player. The European club has shown willingness to negotiate, and now Palmeiras awaits the player's response.

If Jhon Arias agrees to return to Brazil, Fluminense has a purchase priority for the player and will have to match the offer from the São Paulo team to keep him. Recently, in a press conference, Tricolor president Matheus Montenegro stated that if the player wishes to return to the country, he will exercise the option to buy the Colombian.

“Regarding Arias, he is a player who left here not long ago. It’s a conversation that happens frequently. We learned that there was interest from Palmeiras and other clubs. There has always been interest from all clubs in Brazil, he is a spectacular player. In Arias’ contract, we have a player preference clause. We must be notified. Our plan is to exercise this preference. We don’t know the amount, but we have a plan in place to exercise the preference. I can’t guarantee that we will exercise it, we don’t know the amount, but we are planning for it,” said Montenegro.
