Palmeiras boss keen to keep Raphael Veiga at the club | OneFootball

For several days, it has been known that Club América is negotiating with Palmeiras of Brazil for the player, Raphael Veiga.

But despite many things being said and even some media outlets already considering his signing a done deal, negotiations between both clubs are ongoing, so nothing is concrete yet.

Even today, Raphael Veiga came on as a substitute in the 87th minute in his team's victory against Sao Paulo of Brazil in the Brazilian Serie A.

At the end of that match, Palmeiras' coach, Abel Ferreira, directly addressed Veiga's situation, commenting the following:

“It is something that is under the responsibility of the president, Barros, and Veiga himself. It's difficult to talk about him now because he is our player, but of course, I count on Veiga, there's no way to say I don't count on a player of this caliber; he is a club idol. I don't know what will happen, but I count on Veiga”, were his words.

It's clear that for the club's head coach, the intention is for Veiga to stay, but it is also true that the player has lost a lot of regularity, and that is one of the factors that have led Raphael to consider his departure.

Moreover, América has the "advantage" that Paulo Víctor, assistant coach to André Jardine, knows him perfectly, which has helped convince the player to come to Club América.

We can only wait; according to reports, negotiations are advanced, but until there is an agreement, we cannot take anything for granted.
