Palmeiras continues to explore the market in search of possibilities for signing players for the 2026 season. Strengthening the defense with a center-back is the club’s top priority.

Palmeiras’ Interest in Premier League Center-Back

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the Alviverde has shown interest in signing Igor Julio, who belongs to Brighton and is currently on loan to West Ham, in England. Initial contacts have been made with his representatives to understand the conditions for a potential deal.

The current loan is valid until mid-2026, but the defender has not been getting opportunities and wishes to play more. Brighton initially prefers a sale, and the values indicated for the deal to move forward are around €7 million (about R$44 million at the current exchange rate).
