Call-up and progress: Palmeiras back Giay's rise after European snubs | OneFootball

Scorer of the goal in Palmeiras’ win over LDU last Wednesday (9), right-back Agustín Giay drew interest in the most recent transfer window. Verdão was unwilling to open talks and is betting on the player’s market value rising in the near future.

Palmeiras turns down approaches and bets on Giay’s appreciation

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras did not want to enter negotiations after European clubs inquired about right-back Giay. The football department and coaching staff have mapped out a plan for the Argentine with a view to increasing his value ahead of a future sale.

In the view of the professionals, the 22-year-old is following the same path of development as Flaco López, who is regarded as a “success story” at the club. Verdão believes the defender will be a regular presence in the Argentina national team cycle leading up to the next World Cup.

Because he was signed by Palmeiras at a very young age, Agustín Giay is seen as having plenty of room to grow. In addition, Verdão’s board expects the full-back to be sold in mid-2027 for double the amount some clubs indicated in this transfer window.

Giay’s first goal and first assist for Palmeiras

After more than 90 matches without a goal or an assist, Giay recorded his first goal contributions in recent weeks.

Against Santos in the Copa do Brasil, the full-back set up Flaco López and last Wednesday (9), in the Conmebol Libertadores, he celebrated his first goal in a Palmeiras shirt.
