A Brazillian club paying that much is a miracle in itself. Must be a record transfer for them?

More proof that the whole deal has some degree of money laundering/dubious financial scheme attached to it.

Yeah, something stinks. Wouldn't be surprised if one day our club gets a heavy indictment for all those suspicious deals with Brazilians.

It is a good deal, abde is not worth more than 10 million. It was very important for us to sell roque. I never thought somebody would pay 25 million for him

I'm not sure. The only club that gained from our gamble is Betis.

They got 30% reduction of Abde rights for free.

Yeah it's Brazilian transfer record. Previous was Wendel for 20m to Botafogo.

Yes:

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A - Transfer records

The transfer record overview shows the highest grossing transfers of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. It also shows the new club and the transfer fee.

But the market was trending upwards, most of the transfers are very recent. Roque was doing great in the league so itis understandable.

PS: Happy 20th Birthday to him and good luck.

PS 2: The deal has to be official today.

Palmeiras fans are very happy with them signing him.

He was the league top scorer at 18 before getting injured iirc
He was also the starting striker for Paranense when they made their first ever Copa Libertadores final, while scoring the winning goal in the semis.
After he and their GK left, they got relegated to 2nd division.

He sucked here, but he was amazing in Brazil tbh

Yup.

There's a lot of players, especially strikers in Brazil that have been dominant there, but terrible in Europe for various reasons.

But people still believe it's some scam as if a club like Palmeiras with all their money would get involved in some scheme

They have sold two players for 100m+ just the last three years. They have cash to burn.

Yeah, as if a club like Barca, with all their money, would get involved in some scheme. Oh wait!
