Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League Shimizu S-Pulse has already won Brazilian midfielder Yago Pikachu (30). Among them, it seems that Brazilian forward Breno Lopez (26), who belongs to Palmeiras in the first division of Brazil, also offered an acquisition offer. The Brazilian media “R7” reported on the 23rd.
Breno Lopez, who is 178 cm tall and right-handed, has played in multiple clubs in Brazil such as EC Juventuge and Figueirense FC. After a complete transfer from EC Juventuge to Palmeiras in November 2020, he scored the final goal against the Copa Libertadores (South American Championship) final Santos on January 30th last year and contributed significantly to the victory.
However, after only starting five games in the Brazilian first division last season and two games in the Copa Libertadores (South American Championship), he was on the pitch for only one minute at the FIFA Club World Cup. And while he has been appointed to the bottom of the top and side halves so far this season, he is in a difficult position with only one starter in the league match.
“Transfers24hr,” a Twitter account specializing in Brazilian transfer information, said on the 20th of this month that “Shimizu S-Pulse is in talks with Palmeiras to get Breno Lopes completely.”
“R7” reported that “Shimizu S-Pulse, who won Pikachu, offered Breno Lopez an offer. Palmeiras has not ruled out the possibility that he will leave.” He said that the contract between the player and Palmeiras is until December 2024, and that a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros (about 208 million yen) is required.
According to the R7 report, Palmeiras was contacted by a Russian club in January this year but did not respond to negotiations on Breno Lopez.
Shimizu S-Pulse has seven foreign players due to the acquisition of Pikachu. Former Japan national team midfielder Takashi Inui (34) and forward Koya Kitagawa (25) have also been decided to acquire, but it seems that they are trying to further strengthen the offensive team.
