On Tuesday afternoon (20), Palmeiras announced the signing of midfielder Rômulo. The player arrives from Novorizontino after the Paulista Championship and will sign a contract until the end of 2028.
The number 10 has been and is being the highlight of the Novorizontino team in this Paulistão. Even though he is only 22 years old, he has played some good games and has attracted a lot of attention from the media and the big clubs.
Palmeiras bought 70% of Rômulo’s rights, while Novorizontino kept the other 30% of the midfielder, with a view to a future sale. However, the final amount has not been revealed by both clubs.
Although the athlete will not be able to play for Verdão in the Campeonato Paulista, as he has already beaten the number of games for the team from the interior, he arrives to help the squad for the rest of the season, with Libertadores, Copa do Brasil and Campeonato Brasileiro in mind.
