Palmeiras reject Saudi bid, Luighi’s future remains uncertain | OneFootball

By Vinícius Salgado

The forward Luighi, developed by Palmeiras, received an offer to play for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. The Arab team attempted to sign the 19-year-old athlete on a loan for one season, but the deal did not progress.

The Arab transfer window closed last Monday, February 2nd. Luighi also attracted interest from Atlético-MG, which continues to negotiate with Palmeiras.

Palmeiras does not rule out negotiating the forward, provided they receive a proposal deemed appropriate. According to the website Transfermarkt, a site specialized in transfers, Luighi has an estimated market value of 5 million euros (around R$ 31.1 million).

Signed for the youth team in 2016 at the age of 11, Luighi moved up to the professional level in 2024. Since then, he has accumulated 31 games, four goals, and one assist. However, the player faces strong competition in the attack, which includes players like Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

This season, he has played seven games and scored one goal.
