Palmeiras HubPalmeiras has loaned striker Arthur Cabral to Basel, Switzerland. The 21-year-old player will play for one season with the Swiss team after having few opportunities with Palmeiras.
What happened?
Arthur Cabral was signed by Palmeiras for R$ 5.5 million in 2018, after standing out at Ceará. However, the striker had few chances to play for the Palmeiras team, totaling only six games and one goal scored.
Why is this important for Palmeiras?
The Palmeiras management brought in reinforcements for the center-forward position, such as Luiz Adriano and Henrique Dourado, which left Arthur Cabral without space in the squad. The Palmeiras team hopes that the loan to Basel will be an opportunity for the striker to gain experience and game rhythm.
What comes next?
Arthur Cabral will rejoin Palmeiras in the middle of next year. The player was called up to defend the Olympic team in friendlies against Colombia and Chile, at the Pacaembu, in September.
