According to TV Espírito de Porco, the Ukrainian club has already taken concrete steps in the direction of the transfer, having contacted the football player’s representatives to discuss a possible transfer. The source claims that the management of Palmeiras is not against letting their pet go if they receive a decent offer.
The Brazilian club estimates the transfer of the young forward at approximately 10 million euros. The interest in Luigi fits into the traditional transfer strategy of the Donetsk people, who have been successfully finding and developing young talents from Brazil for years.
The 19-year-old striker is regarded as one of the promising players at Verdao’s academy and a move to Europe could be the next step in his career. Currently, the parties are at the stage of dialogue, and an official transfer offer has not yet been announced.
Last season, the young player played 11 games for the Pigs and scored one goal. The contract with the club is calculated until the end of 2029.
