The president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, has been clear when talking about a possible signing of Neymar. In an interview with Universo Online (UOL), the board member of the Brazilian club completely ruled out any interest in bringing the 32-year-old forward. The president argued that the player's profile does not align with the team's needs, especially due to his recent history of injuries.

Neymar, currently playing for Al-Hilal, is sidelined after experiencing thigh discomfort during an Asian Champions League match, only his second game back after a long recovery from a serious ligament injury. Despite the former Barcelona player's talent, Pereira made it clear that her team prioritizes players ready to play immediately.

Rejected and Likely Headed to Santos

"I don't consider bringing in a player who cannot be available for the coach the next day after signing," Pereira stated. She also indirectly aimed a jab at Santos, a team rumored to be interested in repatriating the Brazilian star: "He has no place here; that's a question for Santos."

With this stance, Palmeiras reinforces its philosophy of adding players who can immediately contribute to the team's performance, showing that despite Neymar's name and prestige, they are not willing to take unnecessary risks.
