Enciso on Palmeiras talks: ‘Hope it happens one day’

Palmeiras negotiated the signing of several athletes during the transfer window in 2025, among them the Paraguayan midfielder Julio Enciso, who belonged to Brighton, England. However, the player chose to stay in Europe and signed with Strasbourg, France.

Affection for Palmeiras

On Tuesday (24th), the player, in an interview with journalist Tiago Leme, admitted that he talked to Verdão. Enciso mentioned that he has a good relationship with the Paraguayans at Alviverde, Gustavo Gómez and Sosa, and expressed his desire to play for the team in the future.

I have a great affection for Palmeiras. In fact, I have two Paraguayan teammates there, Gómez and Ramón Sosa. I am also grateful to the captain, Gustavo, who talked to me about it, but due to circumstances, it didn't work out. Anyway, I always ask for Gustavo's or Ramón's jersey when I'm with the national team, and that affection... continues. I hope that at some point this happens, but I am also grateful to everyone in Palmeiras' management who trusted me, and well, as I said, due to circumstances, it didn't work out.

Before joining Strasbourg, France, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder played for Brighton, England. At the English club, he scored five goals and provided six assists in 57 matches since he was bought from Libertad in 2022 for 9.5 million pounds (R$ 70.26 million at the current exchange rate).

Last season, Enciso was loaned by Brighton to Ipswich Town, which ended up relegated in the Premier League.

The BlueCo. Group, which controls Chelsea and Strasbourg, signed the young Paraguayan for 15 million euros (R$ 95.91 million), plus bonuses. He is seen as a "long-term" prospect for Chelsea, potentially moving to Stamford Bridge starting from the 2026/27 season.
