Calleri phone victim leaves Palmeiras for Minas side | OneFootball

Young Felipe Goto has left Palmeiras’ youth academy and finalized his transfer to Cruzeiro. The player joined the green-and-white club in 2019, at the age of 12, and ends his seven-year spell at the Football Academy.

Goto gained national attention after his cellphone was broken by São Paulo forward Calleri during a derby between the two teams. On that occasion, the young Verdão player was filming the players’ exit when the Argentine struck the device.

After the incident, Felipe was received by president Leila Pereira at the Football Academy. Accompanied by his father, the player was given a new cellphone by the club official.

Now, the youngster will continue his development in Cruzeiro’s youth ranks, beginning a new stage of his career after a long spell at Palmeiras. In recent years, Verdão has established itself as one of the leading references in player development in Brazilian football, producing several players for the first team and for the international stage.
