However, according to sources within the club, Palmeiras claims to be unaware of this proposal from Al-Sadd. Despite this tempting offer, representatives of the Brazilian club remain confident that Abel Ferreira will remain until the end of his contract.
Although rumors persist of interest from several foreign clubs, including Benfica and Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia, for the Portuguese manager, Abel Ferreira appears to remain focused on concluding his season with Palmeiras where the club is still in contention with 4 days remaining to win the Brasileirao.

Palmeiras’ confidence in maintaining Abel Ferreira?
Renowned UOL columnist Danilo Lavieri has revealed that Palmeiras is confident of Abel Ferreira’s loyalty until the end of his contract in December 2024. The club is said to have already drawn up plans for the next season, taking into account continuity with the Portuguese manager.
In addition, we learn that the club has implemented a contract termination clause requiring a payment of 3 million euros, or more than 15 million reais, for any unauthorized recruitment attempt.
Despite attempts by foreign clubs, Palmeiras therefore seems determined to retain its star coach.
