Palmeiras may lose another player to European football. Luis Benedetti, a 19-year-old defender, is in Barcelona's sights.

Who is Benedetti?

Benedetti is a young defender who was promoted to the professional team this season and was used by Abel Ferreira in the Campeonato Paulista.

Barcelona's interest

Barcelona, who are looking to renew their defensive squad, are closely watching talents like Benedetti. The Catalan club has already been monitoring the player and may make an official offer soon.

Palmeiras' plan

The Palmeiras management understands that no player is “non-negotiable”. If a strong offer arrives, Benedetti can be released, especially since he is currently the last option in the defensive sector. | Player | Age | Position | | --- | --- | --- | | Luis Benedetti | 19 | Defender | | Gustavo Gómez | - | Defender | | Murilo | - | Defender | | Bruno Fuchs | - | Defender | | Micael | - | Defender |

What's next?

Palmeiras admit that they will have to look for a replacement in the market if Benedetti is negotiated. The young player's contract runs until the end of 2029, giving the club negotiating power.
