Palmeiras seal Facundo Torres sale to Austin FC, United States | OneFootball

Palmeiras continues planning their squad for the 2026 season and is negotiating the departure of some attacking players to make room for new signings that could join as starters under the management of Abel Ferreira.

All finalized

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Palmeiras has agreed to sell forward Facundo Torres to Austin FC in the United States. The clubs completed all the bureaucratic procedures in the last few hours, and the player will travel in the coming days to sign the new contract.

The MLS team will pay around US$ 10 million (approximately R$ 54 million at the current exchange rate) to Palmeiras for the forward, who was signed by the Alviverde in 2025 for approximately R$ 70 million from Orlando City.

Facundo had a significant role in the team but was unable to fully excite the fans and the coaching staff. In total, he played 61 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists.

Change of course?

At the end of the season, coach Abel Ferreira stated that he did not wish to negotiate the Uruguayan, as well as forward Sosa, who joined the club in 2025. However, the offer from Austin FC might lead the management to reassess their plans for the next season.
