Palmeiras moves forward with Arthur renewal

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras has made progress on renewing Arthur’s contract, along with a salary increase, in line with the club’s plan for young players promoted from the youth ranks.

In addition, interest from European clubs in recent transfer windows also motivated the club’s hierarchy to begin negotiations with the full-back.

The deal had been valid until the end of 2029 and is now expected to run through the end of 2030. The parties are set to sign in the coming days.

Offers from European clubs

In recent weeks, NP had already reported that Arthur received offers from European clubs. Among them, Fiorentina of Italy offered around €13 million (approximately R$78 million at the current exchange rate).

Olympiacos of Greece also showed interest in the player. The Greek club indicated a bid in the region of €10 million (around R$60 million at the current exchange rate). Palmeiras promptly rejected both approaches.

In the 2026 season, Arthur has made 29 appearances in the Verdão shirt. The full-back has established himself as an important part of Abel Ferreira’s squad, especially after the injuries to Piquerez and Jefté.
