Palacios arrives as a free agent after ending his association with Los Angeles FC of the MLS, with 44 games as a starter out of 45 he has played this season.

“Except for these Big surprises await us by the end of next week. Let us make the Corinthians strong, with fair and transparent management. Each contract player will know in what form, percentage, value. From today it will be transparent,” said Melo.

Corinthians are also leading the transfer of Ecuadorian centre-back Félix Torreswhich was not published today “for bureaucratic reasons”, according to the São Paulo press.

“Ecuadorian defender still depends on financial guarantees to close the dealsomething that should happen in the next few days,” he announced Globosport.

“In the presentation I said four players, because one thing is missing, but that’s how it is. All closed. One small detail is missing and we can only hold on a little longer,” said Melo. (D)
