Overview
- Palmeiras vice-president Paulo Buosi has publicly confirmed the club wants Raphael Veiga back for the 2027 season.
- Club América president Santiago Baños said the team probably will not exercise the US$6.5 million purchase option because of the cost to the club's payroll.
- Veiga returned to Brazil after a left-shoulder dislocation, underwent surgery and is recovering at Palmeiras' medical and performance center.
- Santos is monitoring Veiga's situation but has not opened formal talks and Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira reportedly includes the player in plans if he returns.
- Veiga remains contracted to Palmeiras until December 2028 and his loan to América ends with the current season, so his final destination will depend on América's decision and the timing of his medical clearance.
