Palmeiras is close to completing another sale. Verdão is in advanced talks with Inter Miami, from the United States, over 19-year-old forward Riquelme Fillipi.
NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras is in advanced negotiations with Inter Miami for the sale of forward Riquelme Fillipi. The clubs are already exchanging documents, and Verdão will negotiate 60% of the Academy product’s rights for around US$ 5.5 million (about R$ 29 million at the current exchange rate).
The expectation is that the youngster will travel to the United States in the coming days to undergo medical tests and sign a contract that will be valid for four seasons.
Riquelme Fillipi joined Palmeiras in 2021 for the Under-15 team from Ibrachina. A multiple champion in Verdão’s youth ranks, the youngster made his professional debut in 2025.
For Alviverde’s first team, the forward made 11 appearances.
With the completed sales of goalkeeper Kaique, midfielder Allan, and forward Riquelme Fillipi, Palmeiras is close to reaching the R$ 399 million target in player transfers planned for the season.
