Good news for San Lorenzo: Palmeiras has more than 96 million in the bank (for substitutes) for their Cup debut

San Lorenzo will host Palmeiras, tomorrow, Wednesday at 9.30pm at the Nuevo Gasómetro, in their debut in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. The last champion of Brasileirao comes from the 1-0 defeat against Santos in the first leg of the Paulista final, and next Sunday he will have his revenge at home. For this reason the Verdao coach, Abel Ferreira, plans a rotation, among which there is most likely Endrick, a star already purchased by Real Madrid.

Not just Endrick, Murilo and Raphael Veiga would also be reserved in the delegation who will travel to Buenos Aires. In any case, the Portuguese coach will only confirm the list on Tuesday.

Furthermore, Endrick had a physical problem due to the match he played for Brazil against Spain, as a guest. “There were national team players who didn’t sleep well, they had jet lag. We need to see who will be better to compete in Buenos Aires. Look, prepare, analyze and look at the physical performance of our players and look at our team to see who select,” argued Ferreira after losing to Santos.

Doing the math, to face San Lorenzo Palmeiras would save around 90 million euros in the bank (for substitutes). More than 96 million dollars.

The fact is that Merengue paid 60 million to secure the 16-year-old jewel (he had already turned 17) and left him at San Pablo until the youngster came of age. If we add the quotes, according to Transfermarkt, Murilo (another of those who wouldn’t leave) has a price tag of ten million euros. And Raphael Veiga reaches 18 million euros.

As reported by Globoesporte, a probable attack for Palmeiras against San Lorenzo are Richard Ríos, Lázaro and Rony, three starting substitutes for Verdao.

The other members of group F are Independiente del Valle and Liverpool of Uruguay.
