She basically shut it down saying the Brazilian star, who’s at Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League now won’t be coming to Palmeiras. She actually said “Neymar will not join Palmeiras this club isn’t a medical department.” She was pretty clear about wanting someone who can play right away saying “I want someone who will come to join immediately who can play tomorrow if the manager wishes.” This is kind of how the club does things under manager Abel Ferreira, they want players who can help right away and keep them winning in the Brasileirão.

Neymar’s Current Status and Historical Transfers
Right now Neymar is playing for Al-Hilal SFC in the Saudi Pro League and his contract goes until 2025. He just moved there from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for like €90 million which shows how much teams still value him. Before that he made some big moves like going from FC Barcelona to PSG in 2017 for €222 million which was like the biggest transfer ever and before that he went from Santos FC to Barcelona in 2013. These moves show how important he is and how the Saudi Pro League is trying to get big names to make their league better.
Strategic Implications for Palmeiras and the Brasileirão
The way Palmeiras is doing things with getting new players is kind of what a lot of teams in the Brasileirão are doing now where they want players who can help right away. It’s not just Palmeiras doing this like you can see Corinthians got Memphis Depay who’s got international experience. Depay going to Corinthians shows other teams are thinking the same way. It’s kind of like what Sporting CP does in the Primeira Liga where they got to be careful about who leaves but also make sure new players are ready to play right away just like what Palmeiras is doing.
