NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão moved up the termination of the Academy graduate’s contract. The deal had been valid until the end of September 2026.

For Palmeiras’ first team, Figueiredo made just one appearance, in a derby against Corinthians in the 2025 Paulista Championship.

The Academy graduate is in talks to sign a new contract with Ceará to continue his career.

Figueiredo’s promise and three injuries

Considered one of Palmeiras’ top youth prospects, Figueiredo was part of a successful generation that included names like Endrick, Luis Guilherme, and Vitor Reis.

In September 2022, the youngster tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was sidelined for about nine months. Shortly after returning, the player suffered the same injury again, this time in his left knee, and had to undergo another surgery.

In February 2025, the midfielder suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee during the U-20 Copa Libertadores. The player underwent surgery on the 28th of that same month and, since then, began his recovery process the following week under the care of the Health and Performance Department.
