Palmeiras reveal technical and financial plans for 2026 | OneFootball

The 2025 season isn’t over yet, but Palmeiras is already thinking about next year and discussing the details of technical and financial planning for 2026, while still focusing on the decisive moments of the Conmebol Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship.

Planning

NOSSO PALESTRA has uncovered some details about how Verdão’s football management is thinking about next year.

Investment

The Palmeiras board believes that the current squad was assembled to maintain quality and have high-level potential for the next two years. After investing more than R$ 700 million in 2025, signings for the next season will not be as intense.

The overhaul, with the departure of players who won many titles with the club, the arrival of both experienced and young athletes, and the work in developing new captains, were crucial for this understanding.

Departures and Signings

As is Abel Ferreira’s habit, Palmeiras continues to make some targeted changes between seasons, whether through signings or promoting young players from the youth academy, and 2026 will be no different.

After two years of major sales with huge figures for players like Endrick, Estêvão, and Vitor Reis, Palmeiras understands that next season will be different. The club is evaluating some players with good sales potential, though involving lower amounts. Benedetti, Allan, Luighi, and Riquelme Fillipi are young talents attracting interest from the European market and could leave the club soon.

If some deals involving the “Crias da Academia” are finalized, Verdão is already planning replacements with players from its own youth categories. Defender Robson, midfielders Larson and Coutinho, and forward Erick Belé are already transitioning in preparation for their definitive promotion to the professional squad.

The signings planned for next year are mainly to replace departures that may occur. The understanding is that today, with all players available, the squad has two options and youth players as a third option in every position.

Valued Foreigners

Palmeiras is preparing for heavy interest in its Argentine players. With recent call-ups and strong performances, Alviverde knows that in the next transfer windows, Flaco López and Aníbal Moreno will be targets for European clubs. Another player with sales potential is right-back Giay, who was approached by teams like Milan in mid-2025.

The board took precautions and recently renewed contracts with Flaco López and Giay. The new deals guarantee better salaries and a stronger negotiating position in case of offers.

Continuity of Work

Leila Pereira is betting on the continuity of Abel Ferreira’s work to put into practice everything that has been planned so far, together. There is still no signed contract renewal until the end of 2027, but both parties treat it as something that will be done at the right time.
