The midfielder Rômulo has been a standout for Novorizontino in this edition of the Campeonato Paulista. On loan from Palmeiras, the player has attracted interest from other clubs. Paulo Buosi, vice-president of Verdão, revealed that the club has already received several offers for the player and sees him as a gem to be developed.
“We have received several offers for Rômulo during the period he was at Palmeiras, and he is a Palmeiras player. We believe in Rômulo a lot, he is a great player. He is showing that. So, I think Rômulo is a gem that we have and we are going to work on it very well. We are very satisfied with him. I am sure he will still bring a lot of joy to Palmeiras,” he said.
As initially reported by ge and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva, the player has received inquiries from two foreign clubs and one from a Série A team.
Edgard Montemor, executive director of Novorizontino, sees the Tigre do Vale’s number 10 regaining his confidence. The executive emphasized the partnership between the clubs and said he is counting on the player to try to achieve promotion to Série A of the Brazilian Championship this season.
“When Rômulo was sold to Palmeiras, Novorizontino kept a percentage of his economic rights and Grêmio Novorizontino and Palmeiras are partners, not only regarding Rômulo, but we are partners in several youth players, in exchanging conversations about structure, about internal processes of the clubs, they are two clubs that are very close,” he said.
“From the moment Rômulo went to Palmeiras and at that time he didn’t meet expectations, he returned to Novorizontino, but we remain partners. We talked a lot here and the partnership continues, in this recovery, not of football, because Rômulo has football. He has quality, he is fully capable of playing at Palmeiras or any other club. He is regaining this confidence that perhaps Novorizontino is giving him,” he continued.
Rômulo stood out at Novorizontino in the 2024 edition of the Campeonato Paulista. He was signed by Palmeiras during the State Championship, but was unable to establish himself in the team. First, he was loaned to Ceará and then returned to Novorizontino on loan. He is contracted with the Novo Horizonte team until the end of this season.
“I am sure he will finish his cycle here at Novorizontino having a great Campeonato Paulista, leading in assists, and is the second top scorer of the championship. We hope he will also help us achieve our goal of winning promotion to Série A of the Brazilian Championship. Afterwards, he will return to Palmeiras and we hope he will be happy there,” concluded Edgard Montemor.
