Palmeiras pocket R$8.5 million from Fortaleza defender sale | OneFootball

Champion of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup with Palmeiras in 2023 and currently at Fortaleza, the defender Gustavo Mancha has left the club from Ceará and signed with Olympiacos, from Greece, for 4.5 million euros (about R$ 28.4 million). Verdão will profit from the transfer.

Despite a contract with Fortaleza until the end of 2026, with an automatic renewal clause from December of this year, Mancha has 30% of his rights linked to Palmeiras - the other 70% belong to the team from Ceará. Thus, the team from Palmeiras will earn R$ 8.5 million.

Leão do Pici had already rejected a lower bid for the player and ended up accepting the second, higher valued, proposal for the 21-year-old defender. He has played 23 games this season, all as a starter.
