Palmeiras football director Toninho Cecilio had previously claimed that the player will move to Palmeiras before making a move to Europe:
“Keirrison cannot play in Europe without the consent of Palmeiras,” he told Globo Esporte. “He cannot move as soon as he agrees it. All the players have a contractual agreement with the club.
“He will only leave if there is a joint decision. We intend to count on Keirrison next season. The striker has contract with Coritiba until April 2009, and, if he does not have an agreement with our partner, he will fulfil the deal and later he will be presented at Palmeiras.”
Benitez is also rumoured to have failed in a bid to sign Portsmouth target and Real Madrid forward Javier Saviola on loan.
