O Palmeiras divulgou na noite desta terça-feira (27) o balanço financeiro oficial e registrou superávit de R$ 157 milhões referente a setembro. O saldo reduziu a dívida acumulada na temporada de R$ 196 milhões para R$ 38,7 milhões.
A entrada de recursos aliviou o caixa antes da reta decisiva do calendário nacional, depois de meses seguidos de saldos desfavoráveis nas contas internas. O resultado reflete a entrada imediata dos valores das negociações de atletas no mercado internacional.
A venda do meia Allan ao Manchester City rendeu R$ 220 milhões, quantia que pode chegar a R$ 240 milhões conforme metas contratuais. Já a negociação definitiva do goleiro Kaique com o Sporting rendeu R$ 24 milhões, valor usado para amortizar os déficits operacionais acumulados entre março e agosto.
Ainda assim, o clube sustenta déficit de R$ 38,696 milhões no acumulado de 2026. O departamento de futebol aposta nas premiações das três frentes de disputa para reverter o saldo até dezembro.
O planejamento aprovado no início do ano previa lucro líquido de R$ 40 milhões; segurar as principais peças do elenco pesou na folha salarial, mas preservou a competitividade esportiva. A presidente Leila Pereira conta com o desempenho em campo para garantir receitas extras em outubro e novembro: o time disputa as fases finais da Libertadores e da Copa do Brasil e briga pela liderança do Brasileirão.
