Palmeiras eye Lille's Alexsandro, Brazil squad call-up | OneFootball

Palmeiras continues to work in the transfer market to sign players to strengthen the squad, with the center-back position being one of the priorities for reinforcing the group.

Interest in National Team Center-Back

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão showed interest, a few weeks ago, in signing Alexsandro Ribeiro, who plays for Lille and was recently called up to the Brazilian National Team by Carlo Ancelotti.

The 26-year-old center-back has been with the French club since 2022 and has previously played for teams such as Chaves and Amora, both in Portugal. The negotiation is considered very difficult due to the current stage of the player’s career.

Despite the recent call-up, Alexsandro has played little in the 2025/2026 season due to an injury and returned a few weeks ago as a substitute for Lille’s team.

Palmeiras Center-Backs

Currently, the Palmeiras squad includes Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Bruno Fuchs, and Benedetti. Micael, who was signed at the beginning of 2025, was loaned to Inter Miami, in the United States.
