“This is going to be a tough year, we need to be prepared”, comments Abel Ferreira at a press conference

– An attacking midfielder who plays Veiga’s role. We brought Artur in last year and we have to see players like that, so the club can recover money later. We had Bruno’s injury, he will be out for three to six months. When the doctor told me I felt really bad. We need a replacement there too – he concluded.

O Palm trees You have until February 16th to close Paulista’s list A of subscribers. The club has an open place in the list and according to the regulations it can still make one more change, with the replacement in the first phase due to Bruno Rodrigues’ injury.

If they advance to the knockout stage, Verdão can make four changes to the list until March 15th. The transfer window is open in Brazil until March 7th, and athletes who are competing in State Championships in the country can transfer until April 19th.

Given the needs exposed by Abel Ferreira, the ge provides an overview of the plans of the Palm trees to close the cast in 2024.

After the victory over Inter de Limeira, when he spoke about the need to replace Endrick, who will leave for Real Madrid in the middle of the year, the coach mentioned the desire for a defender.

– I hope that in the future the club can bring in a left defender to give fluidity to the game, having a left-footed player on the left side.

Behind the scenes, starting with the defensive sector, the Palm trees understands that bringing in a young left-handed defender would not resolve the issue, as there are options in the under-20s. A younger signing would only take away space from the club’s promises.

A more experienced name comes up against values ​​that make a transaction difficult. Because of this, Abel should not receive a defender immediately.

Abel believes that it is necessary to have an immediate reserve for Veiga so that he can rest on some occasions. At the start of the season, for example, the player started all three games played so far.

During the transfer window, the club signaled that it would pay around R$24 million to Cauly, from Bahia, but Grupo City did not agree to negotiate the athlete as they considered him important in the season.

The board understands the need and continues to search the market, but finds it difficult to find names that fit the profile.

Bruno Rodrigues was hired to reinforce the left wing of the team’s attack. Palm trees. But, in his second game, he suffered an injury to his right knee that could sideline him for up to five months.

The loss was felt by the club, which is now forced to replace this gap as soon as possible.

In addition to Bruno Rodrigues, Dudu is also injured and will only return in the middle of the year. This way, only wingers Breno Lopes, Caio Paulista, Luis Guilherme and Estêvão remain.

For the second time in a row this season, Abel Ferreira stated that he needs a replacement for when Endrick is transferred permanently to Real Madrid, in July. Last Sunday, he was more specific and stated that he would like an experienced player who knows Brazilian football.

The main focus at the moment, however, is on this number 9. The club likes to have three options available, with different characteristics. The absence of Endrick, who is competing in the Pre-Olympics with the Brazilian team, makes the need more explicit.

Luighi, from the under-20s, is highly rated, but still considered to lack the necessary maturity to move up to the professionals.

An alternative to the Palm trees is to wait for the Campeonato Paulista to evaluate possible highlights of the tournament.

The club understands that it was successful in seeking Richard Ríos in this way, last year, after the midfielder was one of Guarani’s main names.

This way, the board will monitor the sequence of the tournament and can adopt the same strategy.
