Palmeiras has continued scouting players in recent years and now has several foreign players. Recently, Kone and Miguel Bilong, born in Ivory Coast and Cameroon, respectively, were registered in the CBF’s BID and included in the squad for the Brazilian Championship.
This Thursday (23), Palmeiras registered defender Tiecoura Konaté, from Mali, in the CBF’s BID. The center-back signed a three-year contract with Verdão.
One of the things that stands out about Konaté is his height. At 2.01 meters, the defender is second only to Carlos Miguel in Palmeiras’ squad, who stands at 2.04 meters.
The defender was part of Africa Foot, a Malian club that has been investing in the development of young players.

Palmeiras has been exploring the youth ranks of African football. Watch a video featuring highlights of the young Malian defender in the Copa Santiago U-18, posted by Paulo Maragoni from Verdão Info.
