Palmeiras has solidified its position as one of the major powers in the international transfer market. According to data from the ‘CIES Football Observatory’, Verdão ranks 14th in the world for the most profit from negotiations over the last ten windows (five years), being the top club among non-European teams.

Major Purchases and Sales at Palmeiras

During the analyzed period, Verdão recorded 371 million (about R$ 2.3 billion at the current exchange rate) in sales and 226 million (about R$ 1.4 billion at the current exchange rate) in purchases, across 90 transactions. The positive balance of € 145 million (about R$ 900 million at the current exchange rate) places the club among the top global references in asset management and athlete valuation.

Palmeiras' strategy combines talent development, sports prominence, and selling at the right moment.

Remember the Main Sales

  1. Endrick to Real Madrid
  1. Estêvão to Chelsea
  1. Richard Ríos to Benfica
  1. Vitor Reis to Manchester City

The negotiations reinforce the club's international credibility and the European market's recognition of the technical quality and potential of the players trained and developed at Allianz Parque.

While selling, Palmeiras also invests. Among the main signings in recent windows are:

  1. Vitor Roque, from Barcelona
  1. Paulinho, from Atlético-MG
  1. Ramón Sosa, from Nottingham Forest
  1. Facundo Torres, from Orlando City
  1. Flaco López, from Lanús in 2022

The numbers confirm a sustainable, competitive management model aligned with the main powers of world football. While many South American clubs face financial difficulties, Palmeiras establishes itself as a reference in planning, investment capacity, and prominence in the global market.
