Palmeiras post R$ 653.2 million from player sales, prepared to resist bids | OneFootball

A little over two months from the World Cup, Palmeiras consider themselves ready to resist approaches for their players. Despite a 2026 budget target of R$ 399.6 million in sales, the club still want to keep some, including Flaco López.

According to Globo.com, Palmeiras generated R$ 653.2 million in gross transfer income in 2025, or R$ 602.2 million after deductions.

Player trading was again the club’s largest revenue stream, accounting for 40% of total income, ahead of prize money and sponsorship. Sales income rose 13% on 2024, driven by the exits of Vitor Reis, Estêvão and Richard Ríos.

There was a further R$ 1.9 million via the solidarity mechanism tied to youth development, plus R$ 282,000 from the same mechanism linked to professional players.

Outstanding receivables total R$ 189.3 million, split between R$ 69.1 million from domestic entities and R$ 120.2 million from foreign entities. The foreign balance covers seven player deals, including Aníbal Moreno to River Plate, Thalys to Almeria and part of Estêvão’s July move to Chelsea.
