Palmeiras seek Felipe Teresa loan to Arab club after domestic abuse claim | OneFootball

Felipe Teresa, from Palmeiras’ under-20 team, received an offer from an Arab club in recent days for a loan with an option to buy. Recently, the player was the target of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-partner, Marcelle Barbosa. The midfielder was removed from activities pending an investigation into the facts.

Palmeiras considered terminating Felipe Teresa’s contract

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras considered terminating Felipe Teresa’s contract, but did not do so because he and his ex-partner are negotiating an agreement. In the view of the lawyers consulted by Verdão, if such an agreement between the parties is reached and the club were to dismiss him for just cause, there would be a strong chance that Alviverde would face legal action from the player seeking compensation.

In recent days, an Arab club, whose identity has been kept confidential by the parties, made a loan offer with an option to buy the player. If the deal is finalized, Palmeiras will extend the contract through the end of 2028 so that the agreement does not expire before a possible option is exercised.

If the talks are not concluded, Felipe Teresa’s contract with Alviverde will remain valid until September 2027.
