Shakhtar Donetsk monitoring Luis Pacheco as Palmeiras weigh potential sale | OneFootball

Shakhtar Donetsk are monitoring Palmeiras midfielder Luis Pacheco as he transitions from the academy to senior football in 2026, according to Nosso Palestra.

Palmeiras have not been contacted and there are no talks, though a sale is not ruled out if a strong bid arrives that allows the club to retain a percentage of his rights.

The Ukrainian side have a track record of recruiting young Brazilian players for development and potential resale in Europe.

Pacheco has been gradually integrated into Abel Ferreira’s squad, taking part in first-team training and making 11 appearances. He earned his first start in the win over Mirassol in the Campeonato Paulista and drew praise from the Portuguese coach.

In late July, Brazil Under-20 coach Paulo Victor called him up for friendlies against Bolivia. Despite being named, he did not report after Ferreira asked him to stay with Palmeiras for that period’s fixtures.
