Palmeiras close in on keeper stay, see behind the scenes | OneFootball

With the end of the European season, some players are returning to Palmeiras after loan spells and are waiting for offers to decide their futures. Goalkeeper Kaique, developed in the club’s academy and who stood out at Nacional, has his situation moving toward a resolution.

Palmeiras and Kaique aligned

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão and the youngster met in recent days, and the tendency is for the player to remain at the club and report back as usual to be part of the squad for the rest of the season.

The situation will only change if an offer considered excellent for both Palmeiras and Kaique arrives. Abel Ferreira’s coaching staff sees the academy product as the natural successor to Marcelo Lomba as Carlos Miguel’s immediate backup.

Other decisions

Forward Luighi is one of the players who could leave Palmeiras. The football department has received some indications of offers and is waiting for them to be formalized to analyze them and decide the future of the academy product. There is no intention of sending him out on loan, at least for now.

Rômulo, signed by Verdão in 2024 and currently at Novorizontino, has drawn interest from some clubs in Brazil’s Série A and abroad. Alviverde has told interested parties that it wants to sell the player.

Naves, in turn, will be sold by Verdão. In recent days, NP reported that Famalicão submitted a formal offer below expectations, and the club is awaiting new bids.

The last name on the list is defensive midfielder Coutinho, developed in Palmeiras’ academy and captain of the U-20 team. In recent weeks, two clubs from outside Brazil, whose identities have been kept confidential by the parties, have shown interest, and talks are expected to progress toward a permanent transfer in this window.
