– For me it is a child’s dream come true, I always wanted to play here. It is a great pride to wear the Palmeiras jersey. The structure of the club is incredible, one of the best in the world, I’m very excited to be here – said the defender, on the Palmeiras website.

– I am a defender who has a lot of career, I am fast and I try to pass security to my teammates and the team. I will give everything for the team in all the games and I will give myself to the maximum in the field – he added.

Benjamín Kuscevic spent time with the base teams of Real Madrid, Spain, in 2014. It was revealed by the Universidad Católica, a club for which he served since 2015. He also had tickets for the base and main teams of Chile.

The defender underwent ankle surgery two months ago, but is now in a position to participate in training and be used by the new coaching staff.

The club recently traded Vitor Hugo with Turkey’s Trabzonspor. Felipe Melo’s return to midfield left Verdão with only Emerson Santos and Renan as options for defense. Henri, who had been promoted to the pro roster in the middle of the year, suffered a knee injury and is only expected to return to ball training in January.
