Simultaneously, the pursuit of another European success may see some key players departing from the team, as hinted by previous announcements. Despite calls for some players to stay, such as Chaguinha, who was the MVP of the UEFA tournament, and Lucâo, they will join Movistar Inter. Additionally, Romulo will return to Fortaleza, and negotiations are underway for the transfer of Neguinho to Barça, although he’ll continue with the Mallorcan team on loan for the next season.
Further reinforcements and adjustments are also in progress, with potential signings and renewals being considered. The club’s commitment to maintaining financial stability while exploring market alternatives underscores its preparedness for the upcoming transfer window. Despite the possibility of losing more players to financially stronger clubs, Palma Futsal is in a favorable position due to its solid financial management and sporting success.
José Tirado’s adept management skills and negotiating prowess, along with assistance from Luan Muller and Cleber, are vital assets for the team. While other clubs seek to poach talent, Palma Futsal aims to retain its core players while strategically reinforcing the squad. The summer market priorities include securing replacements and additions to ensure a well-rounded and competitive team for the 2024-25 season.
