Palmeiras bank on Agustín Giay’s growth after rejecting European interest | OneFootball

According to Nosso Palestra, Palmeiras rejected enquiries from European clubs for right-back Agustín Giay in the last transfer window, opting to build his market value for a future sale.

After more than 90 matches without a goal or an assist, the 22-year-old has contributed for the first time in recent weeks. He set up Flaco López against Santos in the Copa do Brasil, then scored his first Palmeiras goal in the Libertadores win over LDU on Wednesday.

The club’s football department and coaching staff have put in place a development plan designed to raise his value over time. Internally he is being likened to López’s maturation, viewed as a success case at the club.

The belief within the club is that Giay will feature consistently for Argentina across the next World Cup cycle.

Having been signed very young, the defender is seen as having significant room to grow. The board anticipate that a sale in mid-2027 could reach around double the figures indicated by bidders in the recent window.
