I still take the time to write something that interests me, especially the content of transfers. Brazilian side Palmeiras have officially announced an agreement with Lazio winger Felipe Anderson, who will join on a free transfer after his contract with Lazio expires this season. The Brazil fringe international will return to his home country after 11 years in Europe.
Palmeiras' official website revealed that they have reached an agreement with Felipe Anderson on Monday local time to officially join the team after the transfer window opens in July, with a contract until March 31, 2027. Prior to this, Felipe Anderson had already revealed that he had not been able to reach an agreement with Lazio on a contract extension and would find another way out next season, thanking Lazio while promising to do his best in the last few games for the Blue Eagles.
The 31-year-old came through the Santos academy and entered the first team at the age of 17, winning the Copa Libertadores and the Super Cup with the team. In the summer of 2013, he joined Lazio for €7.5 million and remained there until 2018, when he moved to West Ham United, where he was loaned to Porto during his time with the Hammers. In the summer of 2021, he returned to Lazio and has been playing for him ever since.
Felipe Anderson has 63 Premier League games and 245 Serie A games under his belt, making 319 appearances for Lazio, contributing 58 goals and 63 assists, and still has good statistics of five goals and seven assists in 44 games this season. Palmeiras are a traditional Brazilian giant, since returning to the top flight in 2013, they have finished in the top three seven times in the last 11 seasons, won the title three three times, and finished seventh last season, and the team is managed by Portuguese coach Pacos Ferreira.
