Palmeiras enquire about Cuiabá striker Derik Lacerda, ex-Sport | OneFootball

Even with important competitions coming to an end in 2025, Palmeiras continues to focus on the next season and is already mapping out players who could be signed for the squad.

Inquiry

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão made an inquiry at the beginning of October to Cuiabá to find out the conditions for a possible deal for forward Derik Lacerda, who played in Série A for Sport.

Palmeiras did not make any official offer to Dourado at the time and only wanted to understand if the club from the Midwest of Brazil would be willing to open negotiations at the end of this season.

Derik Lacerda, 26 years old, would arrive as an offensive option to strengthen Alviverde’s squad, which currently includes Vitor Roque, Flaco López, and Bruno Rodrigues.

Suspension from Sport

In recent days, Derik Lacerda was suspended from Sport’s squad, which cited indiscipline.

Sport Club do Recife announces that forward Derik Lacerda is no longer part of the Club’s plans for the remainder of the season. The player, his agent, and Cuiabá, the club holding his economic rights, have already been informed that he will not be used in the remaining matches of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

The decision stems from episodes of indiscipline, the most recent being this Thursday (06), when the player refused to participate in part of the training activities scheduled by the Club.

Sport reaffirms its commitment to discipline, professionalism, and respect for the values that guide its conduct and work environment.

This season, he has played 43 matches for Cuiabá and Sport, with 14 goals and three assists.
