Shakhtar Donetsk monitoring Palmeiras midfielder Luis Pacheco and considering move | OneFootball

According to Nosso Palestra, Shakhtar Donetsk are monitoring Palmeiras midfielder Luis Pacheco and are weighing a move. The 2026 season has seen him step up from youth to senior football.

Palmeiras have not been approached, but would not rule out a deal if a strong bid arrives that keeps a percentage of his rights. There are no negotiations at this stage.

The Ukrainian club are known for recruiting young Brazilian players, targeting on-pitch impact and later resale to major European sides.

In late July, Pacheco received a Brazil Under-20 call-up from coach Paulo Victor for friendlies against Bolivia, but he stayed with Palmeiras after Abel Ferreira asked him to remain available for club fixtures.

Pacheco has been gradually integrated into Abel Ferreira’s senior squad, taking part in first-team training and making 11 appearances. This season he made his first start in the win over Mirassol in the Campeonato Paulista, after which the Portuguese coach praised his performance.
