Palmeiras scout strikers amid possible exit for Flaco López | OneFootball

One of Palmeiras’ standout players this season, striker Flaco López may have played his last match in the Alviverde shirt last Thursday (28), in the 4-1 win over Junior Barranquilla.

The Argentine, called up by Scaloni for the World Cup, has been the subject of inquiries since the start of the season, and the club considers it “unlikely” that he will remain after the global tournament.

Palmeiras surveys the market

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras has already been surveying the market for several months, looking for an option in case Flaco López is sold in this transfer window.

The club’s leadership is analyzing names and profiles together with Abel Ferreira in an attempt to move forward with negotiations if the Argentine leaves. Because of the current importance of the No. 42, the Portuguese coach insists on a replacement to strengthen the squad and compete for a starting spot.

Palmeiras wants to keep Flaco López but knows it will be very difficult. The Alviverde has indicated that it will only open negotiations for amounts above €40 million (around R$235 million).

Abel speaks about Flaco López

– Flaco is one example of that, but I could mention others. One of my roles is to increase the value of Palmeiras’ assets. Just look at how much these players were worth in 2020 and how much they are worth today. Another role of mine is to enhance Brazilian football and respect the club’s culture, which always demands winning.

– Regarding Flaco, you know how difficult it is to develop players. There are others like him. It’s normal that, as much as I pushed them, at certain moments they were not performing at their peak. But I have no reason to complain. All of this is the result of hard work.
