Ajax is in the market for Patrick de Paula, the Brazilian branch knows Goal to report. In addition to the team from Amsterdam, Seville would also be interested in the 21-year-old midfielder of Palmeiras. Despite the fact that ‘European clubs’ would be willing to pay ten to twelve million euros for De Paula, Palmeiras for the time being denies that an official offer has been made.

Should clubs actually register with Palmeiras with an amount of ten to twelve million euros, this does not seem sufficient. De Paula should yield twenty million euros, although this amount is not confirmed by the Brazilian club Goal. At the moment, Sevilla and Ajax are mentioned as concrete candidates for De Paula. The midfielder’s contract with Palmeiras will continue until mid-2024 for the time being.

De Paula was trained by Palmeiras and made his debut in the main force in January 2020. For now, he has 61 official games before Verdão behind his name, in which he accounted for 6 goals and 1 assist. De Paula was part of the team of Palmeiras that managed to win the Copa Libertadores in January, although he came in as a substitute in the final against Santos. He also played two games at the World Cup for club teams: one as a substitute and one as a base player.
