Now, the parties will align the final details of the new contract, which will include a significant salary increase.

How long Flaco López’s contract with Palmeiras runs

Flaco López’s current contract with Palmeiras is valid until the end of 2029. The talks are moving toward adding one more year, meaning until the end of 2030.

The project presented by Verdão

The football department presented a project to the Argentine striker focused on his long-term stay, making him one of the pillars of the squad. The strategy is similar to what was done with Piquerez last season. The full-back is one of the captains in the current group of players.

Palmeiras sought to convince Flaco López that, at another club, he would not have the same prominence he currently has in South American football. In addition, the number 42 could become one of the club’s great idols by staying for a few more years.

  • 42 matches
