Palmeiras hit R$ 2.4 billion in player sales under Leila Pereira over five years | OneFootball

Palmeiras have reached R$ 2.4 billion from 27 men’s team player sales since early 2022, boosted by Allan’s move to Manchester City worth around R$ 240 million including variables.

According to Globo.com, the club calculates 414.2 million euros in sales over the past five years, the period since Leila Pereira became president. The totals reflect full deal values, fixed fees plus bonuses, and only direct sales, excluding any retained sell-on percentages.

The figure may rise in the coming days, with Riquelme Fillipi in talks over a switch to Inter Miami for between 5.5 million and 6 million euros for 60 percent of his rights.

Homegrown talent underpins the surge, with 18 of the 27 deals, or 66 percent, involving Crias da Academia. The five biggest departures are Endrick to Real Madrid for 72 million euros, Estêvão to Chelsea for 61.5 million euros, Allan to Manchester City for 40 million euros, Vitor Reis to the same club for 37 million euros, and Luis Guilherme to West Ham for 30 million euros.

Some exits continue to yield income, such as Jhon Jhon, initially sold to Bragantino for 7 million euros, then generating more revenue in 2026 when he joined Zenit thanks to a 20 percent stake retained.

Of the remaining nine, all were senior signings later moved on in direct sales. The standout case is Richard Ríos, sold to Benfica for 30 million euros after Palmeiras paid R$ 6 million to Guarani in 2023, a deal the club later described as an opportunity or a state championship standout in reference to the Campeonato Paulista.

The other eight who departed after losing squad places were Facundo Torres, Rony, Aníbal Moreno, Rafael Navarro, Merentiel, Luan, Zé Rafael and Bruno Tabata.
