Even in the final stretch of the season, Palmeiras went to the market and made a new signing. This Friday (07), the São Paulo team finalized the arrival of defender Koné to join the club’s under-20 squad.
Koné is 18 years old and comes from Ivory Coast. Before signing his contract, the player went through a trial period at Palmeiras. After months of evaluation, the club finally decided to keep the defender.
No! Even though he has signed a contract, defender Koné will not be available to Abel Ferreira for the match between Flamengo and Palmeiras in the Libertadores. This is because, in addition to joining the under-20 squad, the registration deadline set by Conmebol has already expired.
The clash between Flamengo and Palmeiras in another Libertadores final will take place on November 29 (Saturday). The match kicks off at 6:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Estadio Monumental de Lima, in Peru.
This will be the second time that Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other in a Libertadores final. The first was in 2021, in a match held in Montevideo, Uruguay. On that occasion, the São Paulo team won the title.
Before the Libertadores final, however, Flamengo and Palmeiras are competing for the Brasileirão title. Thus, the teams will take the field this Sunday (09) for a round of the national tournament.
At 6:30 PM (Brasília time), Flamengo faces Santos at Maracanã. Meanwhile, Palmeiras visits Mirassol at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Maião. In this way, the clubs will keep an eye on their rivals’ matches to see how the race for the trophy stands at the end of another Brasileirão round.
