Part 4/7:
Another significant aspect of Ferreira’s address concerned player valuation amidst recent transfer activities. He highlighted that the Palmeiras brand has gained substantial recognition, making it increasingly difficult to retain players once they attract international interest. The recent transfer of Vítor Reis, a product of Palmeiras' youth academy, to an English club for a record fee demonstrated the financial benefits that can arise from nurturing talent.
Ferreira noted, “We sell high, but we also need to buy high,” pointing out the reality of a competitive market where quality demands investment. The coach indicated that the club’s approach towards potential transfers remains strategic, focusing not only on immediate needs but on long-term goals and player integration as well.
