Fulham seal Kevin signing, see how much Palmeiras will pocket | OneFootball

Fulham announced on Monday, the last day of the transfer window in England, the signing of winger Kevin, formerly of Palmeiras, from Shakhtar Donetsk. The 22-year-old Brazilian signed a five-year contract, with an option to extend for another year, and will remain with the English club until June 2030.

“I am happy to be in the biggest league in the world, at a huge club as well. I am very flattered by everything that is happening in my life. I hope to score many goals this season and do a great job here at Fulham,” Kevin said on the official website of the English club.

To finalize the signing, Fulham paid around R$ 254 million to Shakhtar Donetsk, plus R$ 31 million in bonuses, to outbid Sporting, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

When Palmeiras sold Kevin to Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2024, they retained 10% of the capital gain in a future sale. As a result, Verdão will receive around R$ 18.9 million from the player's move to Fulham.

Additionally, with FIFA's solidarity mechanism, as the player's training club, Palmeiras is entitled to another R$ 2.4 million. Thus, the São Paulo club will receive a total of R$ 21.3 million from the deal.

In total, the young player appeared in 11 matches for Palmeiras, scored one goal, and was part of the squad that won the title of the Brazilian Championship in 2023. In January of the following year, Kevin was announced by Shakhtar Donetsk.

In Turkey, the forward scored 17 goals and provided ten assists in 57 matches. He won the Turkish Championship title (2023/24) and two Turkish Cups (2023/24 and 2024/25).
