Palmeiras

From El Clásico to Manchester Derby, here are some of the most notable men's rivalries in soccer around the world.

Palmeiras' Estêvão had an 18th birthday to remember, netting the club's second goal in a 3-2 Copa Libertadores win over Bolivar before dropping to the turf, vomiting and leaving the field on a stretcher as the high altitude of La Paz took its toll.

Palmeiras' teenage winger Estêvão Willian has said he is "very anxious" to join Chelsea this summer.

Palmeiras president Leila Mejdalani Pereira said CONMEBOL's punishment of Cerro Porteno for racial abuse against Palmeiras Under-20 player Luighi was too lenient, criticizing the South American governing body's treatment of Brazilian clubs.

The Brazilian football federation (CBF) said they will file a complaint with South America's governing body CONMEBOL after Palmeiras under-20 player Luighi faced racial abuse while playing against Cerro Porteno U20s in Paraguay on Thursday.

Palmeiras have finally completed the signing of Barcelona striker Vitor Roque for an initial €25 million ($26m) after FIFA gave the green light for the transfer to take place.

Vitor Roque's transfer from Barcelona to Palmeiras is set to fall through due to the Royal Spanish Football Federation's [RFEF] regulations which prevent Real Betis cutting his loan short, various sources have told ESPN.

Palmeiras have not given up hope of signing Barcelona loanee Vitor Roque before the transfer window closes in Brazil on Feb. 28, ESPN Brasil reported.

Neymar, Memphis Depay and Thiago Silva are among the leading Brazilian footballers protesting against using artificial turf for league matches instead of natural grass.

In years past, the January transfer window would see South America's best talents leave for Europe. Not this year, though, as the Club World Cup looms.
