Palmeiras sign youth deal with goalkeeper, find out who | OneFootball

Palmeiras has officially signed the first training contract with goalkeeper Hudson Ronielly, 14 years old, who plays for the club’s Under-14 team, Verdão.

Hudson joined the club after standing out at North, a club from the interior of Minas Gerais. He won the Super Copa Imef with the team from Minas in 2024. On social media, the young player highlighted this new stage.

What is a training contract?

The training contract can be signed from the age of 14, and is an agreement between a club and a young athlete that guarantees the player’s technical, educational, and personal development, without establishing an employment relationship.

This non-professional bond—which can only become professional from the age of 16—establishes the club’s duties to provide training facilities, academic support, and medical assistance, and the athlete’s rights to receive benefits such as a stipend, apprenticeship scholarship, and insurance.

In addition to being a preparatory stage for a future professional contract, the agreement also protects the club from possible compensation in future transfers.
