Palmeiras wants Claudinho to sign the player and try to move forward with the deal this week.
Palmeiras internally defined that they want to buy midfielder Claudinho, who is at Zenit, in Russia. A meeting between the board of directors of the Alviverde club and the Russians will take place later this week. Verdão hopes to announce the deal in the coming days. However, according to information from LANCE! , acquiring the athlete is considered complicated. Zenit's management does not rule out negotiating the player, but it will also not facilitate a possible release, especially after the renewal of the Brazilian's contract at the start of the current season, which includes an increase in salary, gloves and a bonus offer. The bond now lasts until 2027.
