Raphael Veiga's Palmeiras future in doubt as contract nears end | OneFootball

A major figure in Palmeiras’ recent history, midfielder Raphael Veiga had a below-par 2025 season. The player was unable to secure a spot in the starting lineup but was instrumental in the team’s qualification for the final of the Conmebol Libertadores.

Uncertain future at Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the number 23’s future at Verdão is uncertain. There is an understanding on both sides that, should a good offer come in, a deal could happen.

With a contract until March 2027, Raphael Veiga has attracted interest from some clubs, but there have been no official offers to Palmeiras. The club and the coaching staff consider the midfielder an important leader within the squad, but his departure would free up financial space for a significant signing in his position.

As for the player, because of his idol status and being a fan of the club, there will be no pressure for a move. If an offer is not advantageous for Alviverde, the player will not force an exit and will remain available to Abel Ferreira.

Veiga’s season

In 2025, Raphael Veiga had his least prolific season since Abel Ferreira’s arrival. In 53 matches, the midfielder scored seven goals and provided 11 assists.
