Palmeiras seal permanent signing of Bruno Fuchs until 2029, see details

On Thursday (18th), Palmeiras officially confirmed the permanent signing of defender Bruno Fuchs. The defender, who belongs to Atlético-MG, played for Verdão during the 2025 season on loan and has now signed a permanent contract valid until the end of 2029.

Quickly identifying with the club, the number three became an important piece throughout the year. In total, Bruno Fuchs played 44 matches during the season, starting in 31 of them, and scored three goals. His consistent performance led him to finish the year with the highest win rate in the squad, reaching 70% positive results.

It was a personal goal throughout the year: to show my worth, help Palmeiras in the best way possible, and stay here for many years. Fortunately, I achieved it and now for 2026 I hope our collective goals will be reached. That’s what we dream of, it’s my objective as well, and I’m really happy.

With only seven defeats wearing the green and white shirt — with 31 wins and six draws — Fuchs stood out not only for his good defensive positioning but also for his quality in playing out from the back, with precise long passes, as well as his versatility to play as a midfielder when needed.

I adapted very well, the group itself helps make adaptation quick. The coaching staff embraced me, treated me with care, helped me when I needed it, and I try to repay them in the best way possible on the pitch. Not to mention the energy from the fans. Since I arrived, I’ve felt embraced by them and it’s been a great match. I’m fulfilled playing for Palmeiras and I hope to fulfill my contract until at least 2029 and, who knows, maybe even longer.

After a year marked by squad changes and competitive campaigns, but without titles, the defender is looking ahead to a 2026 full of achievements for Verdão.

We came close to three titles. Unfortunately, we couldn’t become champions, but we showed we have a strong team and next year we’ll be fighting again. God willing, with our work and the support of our fans, we’ll be able to be champions and happy once more. That’s what we deserve. It was a somewhat frustrating year, we expected to be champions, we didn’t make it, but in 2026 we’ll be strong and determined in pursuit of those titles.

With Bruno Fuchs’ stay secured, Palmeiras strengthens the core of its squad and keeps an important piece for the continuation of its sports project in the coming years.

Search for a defender even with Fuchs staying

Abel Ferreira and the Palmeiras coaching staff believe it is necessary to bring in a new defender for the 2026 season. Currently, the squad includes Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Bruno Fuchs, Benedetti, and Micael, who is expected to be transferred during this window.

The number 13, signed from Houston Dynamo in the United States, is not expected to stay, and some clubs have shown interest, with talks progressing towards a loan with an option to buy. The Alviverde believes a decision should be made in the coming days.
