To keep him, Palmeiras plan pay rise for Flaco López after World Cup | OneFootball

One of Palmeiras’ standout players in the first half of the season, striker Flaco López has been called up to the Argentina national team for the World Cup and is being targeted by European clubs for the next transfer window.

Palmeiras’ plan

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão will meet with the player and his representatives after the tournament to discuss an improved contract in light of his current performances and significant development, making him a key part of Abel Ferreira’s team.

Despite the planning and the desire to keep relying on the striker, Palmeiras understands that Flaco López will be highly sought after by European clubs, and if offers above €40 million arrive, his staying is considered unlikely by both parties.

Verdão standout

Flaco López is Verdão’s top scorer this season and, alongside Marlon Freitas, the player with the most appearances at the start of 2026. In 35 matches, the Argentine has scored 14 goals and provided eight assists.

The striker’s current contract was renewed in September 2025 and runs until the end of 2029.
