Palmeiras is accelerating contract renewals, with only Marcelo Lomba, the reserve goalkeeper, remaining undecided until the end of the year. The club started the year with four players out of contract, but with the departure of midfielder Figueiredo, only Lomba's future is unclear. Lomba's contract ends in December 2026, and he will turn 40 that month. Despite his age, he is considered an important figure in Palmeiras' locker room, although he faces competition from young Aranha, a promising talent from the Football Academy. In addition to Lomba and Figueiredo, Palmeiras has already renewed Lucas Evangelista's contract, which now extends until December 2027 due to an automatic renewal clause. Goalkeeper Weverton, who was one of the most significant names on the renewal list, was transferred to Grêmio and has already been called up to the Brazilian national team. Palmeiras' board has yet to decide whether to offer Lomba a renewal, but the club is focused on resolving outstanding issues before the end of the year.
