Palmeiras in top 15 for net transfer profit over last 10 windows | OneFootball

According to the CIES Football Observatory, Palmeiras rank 14th worldwide for net transfer profit across the last 10 windows, the highest-placed club from outside Europe.

In that five-year span they posted €371m in sales and €226m in purchases across 90 deals, leaving a €145m surplus.

The club’s model blends youth development, on-pitch success and well-timed exits.

Recent headline sales include Endrick to Real Madrid, Estêvão to Chelsea, Richard Ríos to Benfica and Vitor Reis to Manchester City, underscoring growing recognition from Europe.

Investment has continued too, with Vitor Roque from Barcelona, Paulinho from Atlético-MG, Ramón Sosa from Nottingham Forest, Facundo Torres from Orlando City and Flaco López from Lanús in 2022.

Benfica top the global net-profit ranking, with Lille and Ajax close behind. Palmeiras are the only South American club in the top 15.

They also place 39th for transfer revenue in the same period, again the best outside Europe, reflecting a sustainable and competitive approach.
