Palmeiras is selling 19-year-old Brazilian forward Riquelme Fillipi to Inter Miami of Major League Soccer. The negotiations concern the sale of 60% of the player's economic rights, and the clubs are now exchanging documentation to formalize the transfer. Fillipi is expected to sign a four-year contract with the American club. The forward, who trains with the first team under coach Abel Ferreira, was considered a potential sale during this transfer window due to his limited usage.

Fillipi's contract with Palmeiras expires on December 31, 2029, and he had also been linked with European clubs including FC Copenhagen and Club Brugge. In August 2026, reports suggested Palmeiras' asking price was approximately €4.2 million for 50% of the player's rights, while in September 2025, Zenit reportedly had an €11.9 million bid rejected. His current market value is €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
