Palmeiras make progress on Murilo contract renewal | OneFootball

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

Contract renewal with Murilo

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão has made progress in talks to renew center back Murilo’s contract through the end of 2029. The parties expect the deal to be finalized in the coming weeks.

The player captained Palmeiras in some matches this season when Gustavo Gómez was unavailable. The club’s hierarchy did not want the talks to take place in the final year of his contract.

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.
