Palmeiras announced the signing of center back Alexander Barboza this Friday (22). However, the defender will not be able to play against Flamengo this Saturday (23) at the Maracanã.
The transfer window is still closed. Therefore, Palmeiras cannot register Alexander Barboza at this time, only from July 20 onward, after the break for the World Cup.
Barboza will sign a contract with Palmeiras until December 2028, with the possibility of an extension for one more season. The center back left Botafogo last Sunday (17), making his final appearance in a match against Corinthians.
Therefore, the Flamengo match against Palmeiras will be on Saturday (23), starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time). The clash, valid for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship, will take place at the Maracanã, and a full house is expected.
Thus, the Flamengo match against Palmeiras will be broadcast on SporTV, on cable TV, and on Premiere, via pay-per-view. However, Coluna do Fla will be at the Maracanã to bring the main updates on Rubro-Negro.
