Palmeiras has been in talks for several weeks to renew Flaco López’s contract. The striker leads Verdão’s goal and assist stats in the 2026 season.
In recent days, Palmeiras and Flaco López have discussed a contract renewal. The player, who had already signaled positively toward extending his deal, liked the offer and boosted the club’s board’s optimism about finalizing the negotiations.
Now, the parties will align the final details of the new contract, which will include a significant salary increase.
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 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.
After being one of the standouts of the 2025 season, Flaco López remains Palmeiras’ top player in goal contributions this year.
