Check out three signings that paid off for Palmeiras in 2025 | OneFootball

Palmeiras took an aggressive stance in the transfer market in 2025, investing around R$ 700 million in 12 new signings. However, not all of them delivered the same results. Only a few managed to secure a spot in the team and deliver standout performances. Gazeta Esportiva has selected three signings from the season who responded well and are expected to remain in the squad for 2026.

Bruno Fuchs

The defender arrived without much expectation, in a loan deal that involved Caio Paulista moving to Atlético-MG. The 26-year-old gradually earned his place and, at times, was ahead of Murilo in the pecking order. Additionally, his versatility proved to be an asset.

On more than one occasion, Bruno Fuchs played as a defensive midfielder. The player became an important piece for Abel Ferreira’s team, who decided to exercise the purchase option. Thus, last week, Verdão announced the signing of Fuchs, with a contract valid until 2029.

Andreas Pereira

Palmeiras tried to sign Andreas Pereira twice during the season, but the deal only went through on the second attempt. The midfielder, who was at Fulham, joined the club in September of this year and was set to compete with Lucas Evangelista for a spot. However, the former Red Bull Bragantino player suffered an injury soon after, and Andreas took over the starting position.

He quickly adapted to the team and became a key player for Abel Ferreira.

Vitor Roque

Vitor Roque joined Palmeiras in the first transfer window of the year as the most expensive signing in the club’s history. Verdão paid around R$ 154 million at the time to Barcelona. Despite his young age and a lackluster stint in Europe, the striker arrived with high expectations due to the significant investment—and he delivered.

The striker took the number 9 shirt at Palmeiras and finished the year as one of the team’s main stars, with 20 goals and five assists. Forming a strike partnership with Flaco López, he was responsible for a strong run by the club during the season. His performance earned him a new call-up to the Brazilian National Team, his first under Carlo Ancelotti.

Vitor Roque was even rumored in the European market and received an offer from a team in the Arab world, but he assured that he is focused on Palmeiras.
