Despite interest from European clubs, including some from Portugal eyeing talents like Murilo and Veiga, Ferreira made it clear: no players will leave unless their release clauses are met. “Sales are closed,” he declared, signaling an end to player exits.
This week, Palmeiras finalized Luan’s transfer to Toluca in Mexico and Luis Guilherme’s move to West Ham in England. The club also welcomed Felipe Anderson and is close to announcing Agustín Giay from San Lorenzo.
Ferreira spoke about the value Palmeiras adds to its players. “A player worth 5 million can increase to 7 million just by being with us,” he noted. He admitted tough decisions come with the job, especially when offers are too good to turn down.

Commenting on the match against Vasco, Ferreira praised his team’s intense start, noting it was something they hadn’t shown recently. “We were aggressive, dynamic, and full of quality,” he remarked. When technique was missing, effort made up for it.
With their latest victory, Palmeiras now sits in sixth place in the Brasileirão, three points behind leaders Flamengo and Bahia. They are set to face Atlético-MG on Monday.
