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.
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.
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:

According to the CIES Football Observatory, these are the 15 clubs worldwide with the highest net profit from player negotiations in the recent period:
Palmeiras is the only South American club present in the Top 15 and leads the ranking among non-Europeans, reinforcing its position as a global reference in sports management and the transfer market.
