Palmeiras sell striker for record fee in Brazilian football

Palmeiras finalized this Friday (3) the sale of forward Amanda Gutierres to Boston Legacy, in the United States. However, the number 9 will continue defending Verdão until the end of the current season, still competing in the Campeonato Paulista and the Copa do Brasil before transferring to the new club.

Verdão negotiated 80% of the athlete's economic rights for US$ 1.1 million plus bonuses, in an agreement that became the biggest sale in the history of Brazilian women's football and one of the most significant in the world in the sport.

For comparison, the biggest sale in the history of women's football involves figures of 1.15 million euros. It concerns the transfer of Olivia Smith, from Arsenal to Liverpool, in England.

We created a wonderful project for Guti. She arrived, became the top scorer several times in all championships, with the Brazilian National Team, and won titles. We know this is a cycle, a victorious cycle, with titles and personal achievements. No one is happy to lose an athlete of this level, but it's part of the football cycle – said the club's women's football director, Alberto Simão.

At Palmeiras since 2023, Amanda has written her name in the club's history: she is the team's top scorer, with 68 goals in 92 matches. She was also the top scorer of the Brazilian Championship for three consecutive years – 17 goals in 2025, 16 in 2024, and 13 in 2023.

I want to thank Alberto, our staff, the athletes, and the club in general, for all the support they have always given me and for the project developed since I arrived here. Thank you to everyone who was part of this cycle that will end in December and to our fans, for always supporting us. I will carry Palmeiras in my heart. – said the forward.

For the Brazilian National Team, Amanda Gutierres, also known as Gutigol, shone in the 2025 Copa América, being the top scorer of the competition won by Brazil against Colombia in the final.

The good individual phase was also recognized internationally. On the last September 22, the forward ranked 21st in the Ballon d'Or award, being the only one among the 30 finalists not playing in the United States or Europe.
