Flaco reveals chats with Messi and his biggest dreams at Palmeiras | OneFootball

In high demand this season, Flaco López recalled moments from last year and revealed behind-the-scenes details of his first call-up to the Argentine national team. The forward talked about conversations with Messi, goals for the future, and even which player he would like to see join Palmeiras.

When asked about a dream signing, Flaco didn't hesitate to mention the Argentine star. The forward also stated that Messi knows Verdão and follows Brazilian football.

“There's one (player) that's on everyone's mind… Logically, a dream would be to have number 10 (Messi) here. He asked a lot about Palmeiras, knows a lot. He follows, maybe not so much, but he knows a lot about our team. I was lucky enough to talk a bit with him during training camps. Logically, I would bring him,” said the forward in an interview with PalmeirasCast.

And who would return?

Regarding possible reinforcements, Flaco recalled Aníbal Moreno. The midfielder, currently at River Plate, spent two seasons at Palmeiras but left the club at the beginning of 2026 after a second half of the year that was below expectations.

“The other one (I would bring) has already been here, but it's because of the affection I have. It was a sad departure because he was my friend. Aníbal, right? But I think at some point he will return. He's a really good person,” revealed Flaco.

Career dreams

Finally, Flaco López also shared his biggest career goals. The Argentine stated that he wants to make his mark in Palmeiras' history and dreams of winning a World Cup with the club.

“I wrote several things when I first arrived in 2022. I wrote that I wanted to play for the National Team and I achieved that. I also want to win a Libertadores. But the ultimate goal, which I don't know when it will happen, but I have a lot of faith because of the affection I feel for the fans, I think my dream with this team is to win a World Cup,” the forward continued.

“The biggest tournament – which we already have – but it's the biggest club tournament we can win. It would be very special for me and it would be a way to fulfill another dream, which is to stay in Palmeiras' history,” he concluded.
