Part 2/8:
Palmeiras is reportedly close to securing its first signing for the upcoming season: Uruguayan forward Facundo Torres. This acquisition is particularly noteworthy, given that the club has plans for substantial investment in new talent. The anticipated cost for Torres is around 72 million reais, which would make him the most expensive player in the franchise's history, surpassing the current record held by Maurício at 62 million reais. This situation hints at the broader inflation of player values in Brazilian football, with a projected spending plan of 200 million reais for the squad's overhaul.
