O retorno de Raphael Veiga ao Palmeiras na temporada de 2027 ficou mais provável nesta quinta-feira (22). De acordo com o portal Nosso Palestra, o América-MEX recuou no interesse de contratar o meia em definitivo, e a diretoria mexicana deixou de tratar a permanência do brasileiro como prioridade nas últimas semanas.
O jogador está emprestado pelo Palmeiras ao clube mexicano até o fim de 2026. Com a mudança de cenário, o Alviverde planeja contar de novo com o camisa 23, que teria sinalizado o desejo de retornar e recuperar espaço no grupo.
Nada, porém, está fechado. Segundo a apuração, o Palmeiras ainda não recebeu comunicação oficial sobre a decisão dos mexicanos. A resposta é esperada para dezembro, limite previsto no contrato de empréstimo.
O empréstimo prevê opção de compra de 6,5 milhões de dólares, cerca de 33 milhões de reais. Se o América-MEX exercer a cláusula, poderá manter o meio-campista em definitivo. Caso a contratação não avance, Veiga pode voltar ao Palmeiras para 2027.
Vale lembrar que, no começo de outubro, o quadro era diferente: o time mexicano ainda queria segurar o atleta, mas não havia informado oficialmente o Palmeiras sobre a decisão.
