According to newspaper Folha de São Paulo on Saturday, Palmeiras are looking for a club willing to pay the amount considered by management as satisfactory for the striker. According to the newspaper, President Arnold Tirone has already scheduled a meeting in Rio next week to discuss the player.
Flamengo had already tried to buy the 50% of the economic rights of Kleber owned by Palmeiras earlier this season, but it was rejected by the Verdão. The expectation of the Sao Paulo club is to raise £2.5 million from the sale – the same amount rejected earlier in the year.
