Part 2/7:
Palmeiras President Leila Pereira recently made headlines with her public comments addressing the gap in the club's recent transfer attempts. Both fans and analysts have debated whether she should have made those internal matters public. Critics argue that such vocalization exposes the club and its management issues, especially given the difficulties faced in this transfer window.
However, others contend that Pereira was merely protecting the club's reputation. By disclosing that there was indeed interest in signing Claudinho, she aimed to shield Palmeiras from accusations of inaction. As she noted, the club had made a legitimate proposal for the player, which was eventually outweighed by a more lucrative offer from a club in Qatar.
