Palmeiras see Flaco López staying as unlikely after the World Cup | OneFootball

One of Palmeiras' standout players in recent seasons, striker Flaco López, who was signed in June 2022, may be living his final months wearing the Verdão shirt.

Staying at Palmeiras seems unlikely

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the Alviverde board already considers it likely they will lose the Argentine player after the World Cup, which will take place in the middle of this year.

The striker is constantly the subject of inquiries and was affected by Atlético de Madrid's approach at the beginning of 2026. NP has learned that Palmeiras has indicated to interested parties that they want around €40 million (about R$245 million at the current exchange rate) including fixed and variable amounts to release the player.

Investment and project

If Flaco López's departure is finalized for the amount desired by Verdão, the understanding is that the project outlined when signing the striker was well executed, yielding both technical and financial returns.

In 2022, Palmeiras spent about US$10 million (R$50 million at the exchange rate at the time) for 70% of the player's rights. Since then, he has played 190 matches, scoring 62 goals and providing 16 assists.
