Aníbal Moreno hints at Palmeiras exit amid River Plate talks | OneFootball

Aníbal Moreno is negotiating his departure from Palmeiras. Last Saturday night, the Argentine midfielder participated in a celebratory match and made farewell statements about Verdão, saying he had made the "right decision." The likely destination is River Plate, which made an offer of 7 million dollars (approximately R$ 39 million) for the midfielder.

"My representatives and I know that we did the best for me, my family, and my future. I believe it is the right decision. I am very eager to start the year and I am preparing very well," he declared to El Esquiú, from Argentina.

His last match was in the 3-1 victory over Ceará, in the last round of the Brasileirão. In 2025, he played 55 games, starting 33 of them, and provided two assists.

Aníbal Moreno joined Palmeiras at the beginning of 2024, after several attempts by the club to bring him from Racing. In total, he played 117 games and scored four goals. Additionally, he won a Campeonato Paulista in 2024, scoring two goals in the final against Santos.

This season, Aníbal started as a starter but fluctuated, made decisive mistakes, and ended the year on a low note, among the reserves. He saw the competition increase in the sector with the arrival of Emiliano Martínez and even with defender Bruno Fuchs playing as a midfielder.

Individually, he achieved his first call-up to the Argentine national team during the September FIFA date, when he played a friendly for the national team.
