Palmeiras is currently in discussions about a possible return of Adidas as their sportswear supplier. However, this possibility faces resistance among some members of the club's Board. The main reason for this hesitation is Adidas's strong commercial ties with Flamengo, which has the most valuable contract with the brand in Brazilian football. Palmeiras's board members fear that the club may not receive the necessary attention and occupy a secondary position compared to their Rio de Janeiro rival. Additionally, there are concerns that a deal with Palmeiras could allow Flamengo to renegotiate its terms and further widen its financial advantage over competitors. Despite these internal disagreements, conversations between Palmeiras and Adidas continue, with hopes that a partnership can be reached in the future. Currently, Palmeiras has an ongoing contract with Puma until the end of 2028, which adds a layer of complexity to any negotiations with Adidas.
