Palmeiras consider sales amid overseas interest, Inter Miami in talks for Micael | OneFootball

According to Globo.com, Palmeiras have told the market they do not plan to sell key players, but are fielding overseas enquiries for others and are weighing exits in this window.

The most advanced case is Micael, on loan at Inter Miami with a 5.3 million euro, R$ 31.2 million, option to buy. The American club want him to stay and are in talks over a permanent move. ESPN has reported Napoli interest in right-back Giay.

From the academy, forward Riquelme Fillipi has suitors and could be sold. Centre-back Benedetti is also drawing interest, having been tracked by Como and clubs in Spain and France, though there is no official bid.

Any departures would depend on Abel Ferreira agreeing they would not hinder the club’s title push. Giay returned more valued after preparing with Argentina for the World Cup and has European interest, although no offer has arrived.

Even with potential sales, Palmeiras would remain short of their near R$ 400 million season target. The club sees this as a calculated risk and has plans to limit any financial hit.

Chasing three trophies, the Verdão lead the Brasileiro, are in the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, and begin their Libertadores last 16 against Cerro Porteño on Wednesday at 19:00 Brasília time at Nubank Parque. They have already rejected bids for starters Allan and Flaco López that could have totalled R$ 260 million.
