Jhon Arias arrives at Palmeiras, targets place in Abel Ferreira’s ideal team | OneFootball

Palmeiras open a new chapter on Saturday 21 at 20:30 Brasília time, facing Capivariano in the Campeonato Paulista quarter-finals at Arena Crefisa Barueri, and the spotlight falls on Jhon Arias.

According to Nosso Palestra, the Colombian has joined for 25 million euros, one of the club’s biggest recent deals, and the expectation is for an immediate impact.

He arrives to bolster the attack and raise competition on the flanks. He is likely to operate from the right, offering depth, intensity and decision-making that marked his time at Fluminense.

At the Rio club he was central to notable campaigns and became one of the most decisive foreign players in Brazil in recent years. A short stint at Wolverhampton in England was muted, with few opportunities.

Recent history at Palmeiras suggests marquee additions can settle quickly. Vitor Roque found space fast, Andreas Pereira adapted smoothly to the model, and Marlon Freitas took on midfield prominence.

Arias arrives with a deeper CV than many recent arrivals. Experienced and used to decisive matches, with international background, he is not expected to need a long adaptation as he targets a role in Abel Ferreira’s ideal team.
