Mauricio seen as Palmeiras' top sale prospect, club awaits bids | OneFootball

One of the seven Palmeiras players called up for the World Cup, Mauricio returned to the Football Academy with his stock higher after strong performances for the national team. Even though he is not considered an undisputed starter in Abel Ferreira’s team, the midfielder boosted his market value during the tournament and currently appears to be the main candidate to leave Verdão in the next transfer window.

First on the list

As reported by NOSSO PALESTRA, Mauricio is the first name on the list of players who could be transferred by Palmeiras. So far, however, the club has not received any official offer for the No. 18.

Internally, the assessment is that a potential sale of the midfielder would make sense from both a sporting and financial standpoint. Although he is an important piece in the squad, Mauricio is not viewed as indispensable and, in the board’s view, would be easier to replace compared to other starters in the group.

In addition, his strong performances at the World Cup increased his value on the international market, a scenario that could lead to a favorable deal for Palmeiras if an offer deemed suitable arrives in the coming weeks.

At this moment, Verdão remains calm and is waiting for the market to move. The expectation is that European interest will increase after the player’s participation in the World Cup.

Return

The player reported back to the Football Academy this Monday (13) after a period off. Maurício scored one goal at the World Cup and featured against France, Paraguay’s final match in the competition.
