Forward signs first professional deal with Palmeiras; see | OneFootball

Forward Harthur, 17, recently signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras, with the deal running until February 2029. Born in Recife, Pernambuco, the player arrived at the club in 2025 and has been closely monitored by the youth coaching staff.

Standing 1.75 meters tall and preferring to play with his right foot, Harthur has been going through the club’s development process and has already had some opportunities to join training sessions with the first team, as part of the gradual transition Palmeiras promotes for young players.

At youth level, the forward was part of the title-winning campaign in the Under-17 Nexperia NEC Nijmegen Cup, played in the Netherlands, where Palmeiras finished unbeaten. The tournament featured traditional European football clubs, and Verdão delivered a consistent performance throughout the competition.

Harthur has also taken part in other Under-17 achievements, such as the Copa Fictor, as part of a group being developed for technical and tactical growth over the medium term.

Internally, the club sees the player as an athlete still in development, within the natural youth academy process, with no rush for a permanent promotion to the first team. Signing the professional contract represents another step in the forward’s development, and he will continue to be evaluated based on his progress over the coming years.
