Palmeiras finalized the signing of Jhon Arias, a former target of Flamengo, this Thursday (05). The São Paulo team, after lengthy negotiations with Wolverhampton (ENG), agreed to pay 25 million euros (R$ 155 million) to bring the attacking midfielder into their squad.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Palmeiras has already ‘shaken hands’ with Wolverhampton and is preparing to announce the signing of Arias. The midfielder will sign a four-year contract with the São Paulo team, which has already started exchanging documents with the English club.

Did Fluminense Have Priority to Buy Arias?

Yes! Fluminense had priority to buy Arias, but would have had to match Palmeiras’ offer, valued at R$ 155 million. Since the Rio de Janeiro team decided not to make a proposal, Wolverhampton agreed to sell the player to the São Paulo club.

Was Arias on Flamengo’s Transfer List?

Flamengo explored the possibility of signing Jhon Arias during this transfer window. However, the Red and Black set aside negotiations to focus on acquiring Lucas Paquetá, who recently signed a five-year contract with the Red and Black.

In addition to Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo also completed two other signings during this transfer window: Vitão and Andrew. Both players, like the number 20, have already made their debut with the Sacred Mantle in 2026.
