Palmeiras sign Jefté, left-back who played in Scottish football | OneFootball

Palmeiras announced this Wednesday (20), the signing of left-back Jefté, who was at Rangers, Scotland and was trained in the youth categories of Fluminense and will be linked with the Biggest Champion of Brazil until July 2030.

Hello, Jefté!

- I'm very happy to be here, for the proposal from Palmeiras. Any player, in Europe or Brazil, dreams of wearing this shirt because it's a giant club. When the proposal came up, I had no doubts about coming here, I told my agents that I wanted to come. Everything was very organized so that it would work out and I am very happy and cheerful. I hope to be able to help and contribute to the team in the best way - said

Most 'needy' position in the squad

The left-back has always been the position that Palmeiras missed its starter, Piquerez, the most. In 2024, the club signed Caio Paulista, who failed to get going and win over the fans, and was subsequently traded to Atlético-MG, in a deal involving the arrival of Bruno Fuchs at Verdão.

Jefté was speculated at Chelsea at the beginning of the season, and has been standing out in Scottish football, being elected the best left-back in the Scottish league.

Trained in the youth categories of Fluminense, the 21-year-old Brazilian arrived at the club just over a year ago, in May 2024 and signed for four years.
