Palmeiras is keen on acquiring Vinicius Souza from Sheffield United on a six-month loan, viewing him as a significant asset for the Mundial de Clubes. The negotiations are proving to be difficult due to the high asking price set by Sheffield United and the interest from other European clubs. Nonetheless, the opportunity to participate in the Mundial de Clubes in the United States is appealing to the player. According to ESPN, Palmeiras has dispatched Leonardo Holanda, the professional responsible for securing the signing of Felipe Anderson in the past, to England in order to push forward with the negotiations. Sheffield United purchased Vinicius Souza in 2023 for 12.5 million euros, making a permanent transfer financially impractical for Palmeiras, who are therefore concentrating on a loan arrangement.
