Palmeiras turn down Luighi approach as window closes, deal explained | OneFootball

The Palmeiras recently received a proposal from Al-Ittihad, from Saudi Arabia, for the forward Luighi. The discussions took place close to the closing of the transfer window in Saudi Arabia, last Monday (2), but did not progress, according to NOSSO PALESTRA.

The Saudi Arabian team offered a one-year loan with a purchase option. Palmeiras, on the other hand, has put the forward on the list of negotiable players, but is aiming for a sale offer, which has not yet occurred.

With the transfer window nearing its end, the expectation is that the young striker will remain at Verdão at least until mid-year, when a new window opens.

Interest in Palmeiras' Talent

NP had already reported that during January, Verdão received three proposals from clubs in Brazil and abroad for the forward Luighi, who was trained at the club's academy and has been with the professionals since 2024. The names of the clubs were not disclosed.

The Palmeiras football management is evaluating conditions and does not rule out negotiating the young player during this transfer window. The Academy's Talent scored Alviverde's first goal of the 2026 season against Portuguesa, in the debut of the Campeonato Paulista.

Long History at the Club

Luighi joined Palmeiras' youth academy in 2016 to play in the Under-11 team, and since then, he has progressed through the ranks until reaching the professional team in 2024. In the main team, he has played 33 games, scoring four goals and providing one assist.
