The club plans to keep a portion of any future sales for Luis Guilherme, betting on his potential growth in Europe. However, Palmeiras won’t receive the full R$530 million immediately, as these transactions include staggered payments and are dependent on specific achievements, particularly for Estêvão.

Palmeiras will take 70% of his sale price, with the rest going to his family. This transaction will impact the club’s financials in 2025 since Estêvão will join Chelsea when he turns 18 next year.
Luis Guilherme could move as soon as the European transfer window opens on June 14, since he is already 18. Despite these promising deals, Palmeiras remains cautious, looking to maximize profit by leveraging interest from other clubs.
