Palmeiras eye midfielder, ex-Flamengo man could become target | OneFootball

Vinicius Souza is currently at Wolfsburg (GER)

Palmeiras remains active in the transfer market amid the pause in competitions due to the World Cup. The team is prioritizing the signing of a defensive midfielder for the rest of the season. As a result, the name of Vinicius Souza, formerly of Flamengo, could start gaining traction behind the scenes again.

According to information from ‘Gazeta Esportiva,’ Palmeiras is looking to strengthen the defensive midfield area. At the moment, the team coached by Abel Ferreira is not yet in advanced talks with any player.

However, the main target is Danilo, a midfielder for Botafogo. On the other hand, Vinicius Souza, developed by Flamengo, could return to the radar of the São Paulo club. The midfielder, who currently plays for Wolfsburg (GER), was already a target for Palmeiras in January this year.

WHAT IS VINI SOUZA’S SITUATION?

Vinicius Souza plays for Wolfsburg, a team that was relegated to the second division of German football. Given this scenario, the Brazilian could be transferred starting this month. As a result, the defensive midfielder’s name is gaining strength behind the scenes at clubs in Brazilian football.

In addition to Palmeiras, Vinicius Souza has already been on the radar of other Brasileirão teams, such as Corinthians and Atlético-MG. However, no talks progressed, and the player remained in European football. It is worth noting that clubs from Turkey are also monitoring the situation of the former Flamengo player.
