The move is part of the market analysis conducted by Leila Pereira to reinforce the squad led by Portuguese Abel Ferreira. Arthur is known for his combat ability in midfield and the quality of his passes to build plays, characteristics that aroused the interest of the president of Palmeiras.
According to information from journalist Diego Firmino, Leila Pereira is already talking to the midfielder's representatives about the possibility of having the player at Palmeiras this summer. However, the contractual situation with Juventus is an obstacle to progress in negotiations.
Palmeiras only intends to continue with the negotiation if Arthur manages to break his relationship with the Italian club. Without the termination, Leila Pereira will not be able to advance the investment necessary to facilitate the athlete's arrival.
Developed by Grêmio, Arthur also spent time at Barcelona before moving on to Italian football. In Europe, however, it failed to deliver the expected performance. After returning to Brazilian football on loan to defend Grêmio, a permanent return to the country appears as a possibility for the midfielder.
While evaluating Arthur's hiring, Leila Pereira also publicly reinforced her support for Abel Ferreira. Before the match against Cerro Porteño, scheduled for this Wednesday (19), the president stated that she believes in the work of the technical committee, the football director and the players. The Portuguese coach has been under pressure from the fans, who are asking for his departure.
Abel also asked for calm in the face of demands related to Palmeiras' performance in the 2026 season. The coach acknowledged that the team is not going through a good moment, but stated that the evaluation needs to consider the current period.
According to Abel, Palmeiras continues to be a winning team and has not yet been eliminated from the Copa or the Libertadores. For the coach, analyzes about the team are influenced by the moment the club is experiencing and may change after the next games.
