Palmeiras and Murilo begin talks over contract renewal | OneFootball

Leaders of the Brazilian Championship and qualified for the next rounds of the Copa do Brasil and the Conmebol Liberators, Palmeiras will have a break due to the World Cup and is working on some decisions behind the scenes.

Renewal with Murilo

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão’s board has started talks to renew center-back Murilo’s contract. With a deal running until the end of 2027, Alviverde wants to keep the defender, who is seen as one of the leaders of the current squad.

The player captained Palmeiras in some matches this season when Gustavo Gómez was unavailable. The club’s hierarchy does not want the talks to happen in the final year of his contract and is already working on an extension of one or two more years.

Spell at Palmeiras

At Palmeiras since 2022, Murilo has formed a historic, title-winning partnership alongside Gustavo Gómez. Wearing the No. 26 shirt, he has made 229 appearances for Verdão and is the fourth highest-scoring center-back in the club’s history, with 23 goals.

Competition for places

Currently, for the defensive sector, Alviverde has Murilo, Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs, Benedetti, and newly signed Alexander Barboza.

Palmeiras also remains interested in signing Nino, who belongs to Zenit, but financial issues are preventing the negotiations from moving forward.
