Palmeiras extend Flaco López contract until end of 2029 | OneFootball

Palmeiras has announced the contract renewal of forward Flaco López until the end of the 2029 season. The contract was extended for two more years and, as previously reported by NOSSO PALESTRA, negotiations were quick and without obstacles. The board sped up the process after the Club World Cup due to his first-ever call-up to the national team and increased interest from abroad. The forward will receive a salary increase considered well-deserved.

Flaco is experiencing his best phase since arriving at Verdão, forming a striking partnership with Vitor Roque. In 2025, he has scored 19 goals in 48 matches and is the team’s top scorer of the season as well as the overall top scorer in the Libertadores.

– This moment is very special for me, seeing all the support Palmeiras gives me is truly a luxury. When I arrived, at first, things maybe didn’t happen as everyone hoped. I am extremely grateful for all the recognition Palmeiras has given me, it made me a national team player and that, for me, is the pinnacle of football – said the Argentine.

The number 42 joined the Greatest Champion of Brazil in mid-2022 after gaining recognition at Lanús-ARG. Since then, he has played 164 matches, provided 11 assists, scored 51 goals, won two Brazilian championships (2022 and 2023), two Paulista championships (2023 and 2024), and a Brazilian Supercup (2023).

– I arrived as a boy and year after year I have grown. I think I became a better person and a better man here by being close to great people. It’s a team full of great players and great people, and I think that makes us better in every aspect of life every day. I always try to be light-hearted and keep my essence until the last day of my life. I think respect is the most important thing in a workplace like Palmeiras – he concluded.
