Portuguese club ends loan, sends defender back to Palmeiras; find out | OneFootball

Defender Michel, developed in Palmeiras’ youth academy, was loaned to Moreirense of Portugal in January 2025 on a contract valid until June 30, 2026.

Returned to Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA learned that the defender had his loan deal terminated by the Portuguese club, which claims just cause due to his absence from team training sessions. Since arriving, the youngster made only nine appearances.

Sources close to the player claim moral harassment and say that, after he was injured on a weight-training machine, those in charge at Moreirense asked the center-back to remain at home.

Contacted by the report, Palmeiras will not comment on defender Michel’s situation.

Youth academy product

Michel came through Alviverde’s youth academy and played for teams that won the main Under-17 and Under-20 competitions. Although he was included in the squad by Abel Ferreira on some occasions, the player had not featured for Verdão’s senior team since 2021, the year he made his first-team debut. In total, he made five appearances.
