Palmeiras wants to renew Arthur’s contract

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras made its first formal contacts with Arthur and his representatives to discuss a contract renewal, along with a salary increase. In this scenario, both sides see the move as a natural step given the player’s development.

Arthur extended his deal with Palmeiras in August 2025, with a contract running until the end of 2029. Now, the club’s board intends to raise the Academy graduate’s wages to the standards adopted by the club for players promoted and permanently integrated into the professional squad.

In addition, interest from European clubs in recent transfer windows also prompted the club’s top brass to begin talks with the full-back.

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 Verdão’s shirt. The full-back has established himself as an important piece of Abel Ferreira’s squad, especially after injuries to Piquerez and Jefté.
