Center-back renews contract with Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that center-back Thiago Pimenta has renewed his contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2028. His previous deal was valid until June 2027.

In the last transfer window, the defender was targeted by European clubs, such as Italy’s Udinese. The Italian club indicated a proposal in the region of 6 million euros (around R$36 million at the current exchange rate), but talks did not progress.

Thiago Pimenta joined Palmeiras in 2024 after an impressive spell with SKA Brasil and has since become an important piece of the Under-20 team.

Despite the renewal, the player remains a target for European clubs and could leave Alviverde in the next transfer window.
