Palmeiras has already started studying and working behind the scenes to open negotiations very soon to offer Abel Ferreira a contract renewal, whose current contract expires in December 2024.
The strategy of Verdão’s board is to value the Portuguese coach even more, especially with the strong possibility of seeing polls and offers from Europe arrive in the middle of the year.
Recently, Abel was targeted, for example, by Brighton, England. At the time, he chose to remain in Brazil, as he was close to winning the 2022 Brazilian Championship title.
Since arriving in Brazilian football, Abel Ferreira, 44 years old, has been approached frequently by European clubs, including Dinamo de Kiev, from Ukraine, Granada, from Spain, Bordeaux and Olympique de Marseille, from France, and Fenerbahçe, from Turkey. He also refused a tempting proposal (to earn three times as much) from Al Rayyan, from Qatar, at the end of 2020.
