– Palmeiras is always attentive to the market. We don’t need (a replacement for Endrick), but I listen to my coaching staff and my director of football. For me, our team is complete, but if we find someone who comes to join our team, we are open doors – Leila told TNT Sports.
At the beginning of the season, the coach Abel Ferreira highlighted more than once the need for Verdão to go to the market to replace the player’s departure. The coach understands that no striker in the squad has the characteristics of number 9.

So far, the Palmeiras board has hired Bruno Rodrigues and Lázaro (wingers), Caio Paulista (winger and winger) and Aníbal Moreno (midfielder).
ENDRICK WORRIES
Scorer of the goal that guaranteed Palmeiras’ qualification for the Paulistão final, Endrick felt discomfort in his thigh and ended up being substituted in the second half of the match.
The striker will be re-evaluated by the club’s medical department in the coming days, but he made clear his desire to be available for the first game of the decision against Santos, at Vila Belmiro.
