Palmeiras close in on Naves sale to Mexican club | OneFootball

Developed through Palmeiras’ youth ranks, Kaiky Naves is on his way out of the club. The 24-year-old center-back, who was on loan at Alverca in Portugal, is close to completing a move to Necaxa of Mexico.

The information was first reported by UOL Esporte and confirmed by NOSSO PALESTRA. The defender is expected to sign a three-season contract with the Mexican club. The deal is worth around three million dollars fixed, plus performance-related bonuses предусмотренные in the contract.

Even after a strong season in Portuguese football, Naves would have had little room in Abel Ferreira’s squad. At the moment, the coach has Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Barboza, and Bruno Fuchs as his main options in central defense, in addition to youngsters Benedetti and Koné, who are part of the youth support group for the senior team.

At Alverca, the defender was an undisputed starter last season. He played 34 matches, all as a starter, and scored three goals. The team finished the Portuguese Championship in 11th place
