Turkish side sound out Flaco López, Palmeiras striker says no | OneFootball

Palmeiras’ top scorer this season, forward Flaco López has seen his value rise in the transfer market thanks to his strong performances and his role in Argentina’s World Cup runner-up campaign.

Turkish club keeping an eye on Palmeiras striker

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that, in recent weeks, Fenerbahçe of Turkey contacted the player’s camp to understand the terms of a potential deal and whether there would be interest in negotiating with the club. Verdão was not approached.

However, despite the approach, Flaco López’s representatives ruled out the possibility of a move to the Turkish side at this time. There is an expectation that clubs from other European markets could make a move for the Argentine striker in this transfer window.

Verdão’s plan

NP reported that Verdão will meet with the player and his camp in the coming days with the aim of improving his contract due to his current performances and significant development, which have made him a key part of Abel Ferreira’s team.

Despite the planning and the desire to keep counting on the striker, Palmeiras understands that Flaco López will be heavily targeted by European clubs, and keeping him in the event of offers above €40 million is considered unlikely by the parties involved.

President Leila Pereira and coach Abel Ferreira have said on several occasions that they do not want to lose any key players from the squad in this transfer window, despite the need for a major sale.

– I have capable players and enough of them in the squad. What I want is not to lose anyone. If we do lose someone, let it be someone we won’t miss. I want to have the squad ready so I have more options for every situation. The rest is a story for you to read – Abel Ferreira said last Sunday (26).
