Palmeiras eye new deal for Gustavo Gómez | OneFootball

One of the great names in Palmeiras' history, defender Gustavo Gómez is a technical and leadership pillar of the team led by Abel Ferreira. Following Weverton's departure, the defender is the player with the longest tenure at the club.

Palmeiras aims for renewal

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão wants to renew the Paraguayan's contract still in the 2026 season. With a contract until the end of 2027, the Alviverde management does not want to leave negotiations for an extension to the last year of the contract, as this could cause friction between the parties.

At 32 years old, Gustavo Gómez is internally seen as a fundamental piece for Palmeiras in the coming years. Although distant, the club does not rule out offering a career project for the defender to stay until near the end of his career.

Physical reference

Defender Gustavo Gómez is the outfield player who has played the most official matches in world football over the past five years. This data comes from the CIES Football Observatory, an organization linked to the International Centre for Sports Studies, a reference in global football statistical analysis.

According to the survey, the Paraguayan defender accumulated 28,194 minutes on the field, considering commitments for clubs and national teams during the analyzed period. This number places Gómez ahead of athletes playing in the main European leagues and who are protagonists in continental and international competitions.

The ranking includes prominent names in world football, such as Bruno Fernandes, Nicolás Otamendi, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Kylian Mbappé, and Joshua Kimmich, which underscores the magnitude of the achievement reached by the Palmeiras captain.
