The South American transfer market has shaken the continent with the return of one of the most decisive figures of recent years. Jhon Arias, the talented Colombian winger, is officially a new Palmeiras player. After a brief and discreet stint in the Premier League with Wolverhampton, the “VerdĂŁo” has spent a record sum of 25 million euros to bring the footballer back and make him the cornerstone of their sporting project for 2026.
A fleeting spell in the Premier League
Arias’ European adventure with Wolves came to an end much sooner than expected. The Colombian played just 23 matches in six months, where he failed to establish the consistency that made him an idol at Fluminense. Faced with his lack of adaptation to the English pace, Palmeiras acted swiftly to secure his signing, taking advantage of the market opportunity to strengthen a squad already considered one of the most powerful in the Americas.
A golden reinforcement for the Copa Libertadores
With this addition, the team led by Abel Ferreira sends a direct warning to its continental rivals. Arias not only brings flair and goals, but also a deep knowledge of Brazilian football. His arrival aims to guarantee the leap in quality needed for Palmeiras to reclaim the Copa Libertadores throne. The Colombian will immediately join training at the Football Academy, generating massive excitement among the SĂŁo Paulo fans who already dream of seeing him debut at Allianz Parque.
