Palmeiras sign fewest players in Série A for 2026, full list here | OneFootball

While a good portion of the Série A clubs have been intensely active in the transfer market for the 2026 season, Palmeiras has taken the opposite path. A survey by Footlink with confirmed signings so far shows that Verdão is the team that has brought in the fewest reinforcements among the elite of Brazilian football.

So far, the club has announced only Marlon Freitas as a new addition to the squad. This number contrasts with direct rivals, such as Flamengo and Cruzeiro, and even lower-budget teams like Mirassol, Vitória, and Remo, which are among the most active in the window, with several arrivals.

Palmeiras' more restrained approach reinforces a strategy already known by the management: to prioritize maintaining the core of the squad and betting on specific adjustments, rather than major overhauls. Internally, the club assesses that the current group remains competitive, especially after recent seasons of national prominence.

Moreover, Verdão's financial policy continues to be guided by budgetary balance. President Leila Pereira and football director Anderson Barros have reiterated that Palmeiras will only enter the market when they identify opportunities considered truly strategic, avoiding inflating negotiations.

Even with only one confirmed reinforcement, the club maintains active monitoring of the market and does not rule out new moves until the window closes. The trend, however, is that any arrivals will occur in a surgical manner, focused on specific positions.
