Flaco López ‘open to’ new Palmeiras deal | OneFootball

Palmeiras are working to agree a new deal with Flaco López, their leading scorer and a key figure under Abel Ferreira.

According to Nosso Palestra, the Argentine forward and his representatives have responded positively to an offer and, despite initial interest in a move, talks should progress towards an extension of one or two years with a significant pay rise. His current contract runs until the end of 2029.

The club’s football department has set out a long-term plan for López to become a pillar of the squad. The approach mirrors what was done with Piquerez last season, with the full-back now among the team’s captains.

Palmeiras have also argued that elsewhere he might not enjoy the same prominence he has in South American football. By staying longer, the number 42 could further cement himself as a club idol.

After standing out in the 2025 campaign, López remains Palmeiras’ leading player for goal involvements this year. He has 15 goals and 10 assists in 37 matches.
