Marcelo Lomba extends Palmeiras contract, details revealed | OneFootball

Between arrivals, departures, and stays, Palmeiras is shaping its squad for the 2026 season. Goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba accepted the renewal offer made by the club at the beginning of the month and will continue wearing the Verdão jersey for one more year.

Marcelo Lomba had a contract with Palmeiras until December 31, 2025. Now, the deal runs until December 2026. The goalkeeper’s last contract renewal was at the end of 2024. Verdão has adopted a policy of offering shorter contract extensions to older players.

The information was published by ge and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Lomba’s Situation at Palmeiras

The goalkeeper finished the year as the third reserve at Palmeiras. He was the immediate backup to Weverton until the arrival of Carlos Miguel in August this year. With Weverton’s injury, Carlos Miguel became Abel Ferreira’s first choice, leaving Lomba behind.

Even with less playing time, he is seen as an important figure in the Palmeiras locker room. This season, Marcelo Lomba played only six matches, in situations where Abel Ferreira decided to field a reserve team, including the 3-1 win over Ceará in the last round of the Brasileirão.

The goalkeeper joined Palmeiras in 2022 and, since then, has played 28 matches. The year he joined was when he played the most: 11 times. With the club, he has won seven titles: three Paulista Championships (2022, 2023, and 2024), two Brazilian Championships (2022 and 2023), one Recopa Sudamericana (2022), and the Supercopa do Brasil (2023).
