Palmeiras agree new deal with Lucas Evangelista | OneFootball

The Palmeiras has secured the contract renewal of midfielder Lucas Evangelista until the end of 2027. The 30-year-old player joined the club in 2025 with a contract valid until the end of 2026, with an extension clause for one more year based on achieved goals.

Lucas Evangelista has been a missing player for Verdão since the end of September. At the beginning of the year, he entered a physical transition process after recovering from surgery on his right thigh and should soon be available to coach Abel Ferreira.

Injury hindered Evangelista's consolidation at Palmeiras

The former Bragantino midfielder joined Verdão after the 2025 Paulista Championship. Initially in a reserve position, Lucas Evangelista quickly adapted to the club and took on the starting role after Richard Ríos left for Benfica, Portugal, in July of last year.

When he was in great form, he suffered a severe injury to his right thigh in September and had to undergo surgery to repair the rupture in the tendon of the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Thus, Evangelista has been unavailable to Abel for four months.
