Palmeiras rule out more exits after Bruno Rodrigues loan, eye defence | OneFootball

Palmeiras took another step in planning for the 2026 season with the departure of Bruno Rodrigues. The forward will be loaned to Cruzeiro until the end of 2026, in an agreement that aims to give the player more playing time throughout the year.

Internally, the club's management is not considering any further departures from the main squad in this first semester. The assessment is that the current group meets the sporting demands of the coaching staff for the start of the season, ensuring stability and continuity of work.

Despite this, the market continues to be monitored. The main need identified is in the defensive sector, where the club is considering signing a defender. However, there is no rush: if an ideal opportunity does not arise, Palmeiras does not rule out postponing the reinforcement to the next transfer window.

In this window, Verdão signed Marlon Freitas and Jhon Arias, changing the recent recruitment profile and seeking ready-to-play athletes.

This approach reflects caution in negotiations and confidence in the options already available in the squad, as well as alignment with the club's financial planning.
