Barcelona Sets Its Sights on Palmeiras Defender
Barcelona has become aware of the asking price to sign the young Brazilian defender Luis Benedetti, a player from Palmeiras, who is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Brazil. This comes as part of the Catalan club's efforts to compensate for the departure of Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and to seek a left-back for the upcoming season.
Benedetti, who is 19 years old, has caught the attention of several major European clubs such as Arsenal and Napoli, alongside Barcelona, which is one of the most interested clubs in signing the player. According to media reports in Brazil, Palmeiras has set an initial asking price of 15 million euros for his services, while it is said that Barcelona is preparing to make an offer of 12 million euros.
Benedetti's contract with Palmeiras extends until 2029, and he has so far participated in 9 matches with the first team. He also recently contributed to his youth team's victory in the Brazilian Under-20 League, and his impressive performance has drawn attention, with expectations that he will be included in the Brazilian national team for the Under-20 World Cup.
Barcelona is expected to send scouts to closely follow the tournament to identify the most prominent young talents, with Benedetti at the top of the list.
