Leeds United have yet to completely enter the transfer market following the arrival of Daniel Farke late in the summer.
Indeed, from the outside looking in, a frenzy of transfer activity was predicted following the club’s relegation and Farke’s arrival. However, there hasn’t been a big problem in terms of permanent exits and incomings so far.
So far this summer, Ethan Ampadu has joined the Whites on a permanent basis after leaving Chelsea.
It seems, though, that boss Daniel Farke has further signings lined up, with one of them potentially having been revealed.
Who is Joaquin Piquerez?
As touched upon above, Joaquin Piquerez is a left-back currently playing his football for Brazilian club Palmeiras.
That was not always the case, though.
As you might expect given that he is Uruguayan and not Brazilian, the 24-year-old’s career began back in his homeland for Defensor Sporting Club.
Piquerez would spend three seasons at the club as a senior player, making 33 appearances before moving on to CA River Plate Montevideo.
There he spent just one season before it was time to move on again, this time to CA Penarol – a club that boast 46 Uruguayan Championships.
For Penarol, Piquerez made 53 appearances before the move to Palmeiras materialised in 2021.
Since then, the 24-year-old has made 101 appearances for the Brazilian outfit, including many in the Copa Libertadores.
Piquerez is also a full Uruguayan international, with nine caps to his name for his country.
His debut came in 2021, and interestingly, his most recent cap came under former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa, now in charge of the Uruguayan national team.
How long does Joaquin Piquerez have left on his contract at Palmeiras?
Palmeiras are in a good contractual position regarding the 24-year-old’s future because they are not under immediate pressure to sell.
This is due to the fact that Piquerez’s current contract with the club expires in two years.
According to Transfermarkt, the left-back is under contract with Palmeiras until 2025.
How much would Leeds United pay for Joaquin Piquerez?
There has been no indication of a prospective transfer fee or appraisal at this time.
As a result, it is currently uncertain how much it would cost Leeds United to sign their man.
