Palmeiras president Leila Pereira outlines post-term plans

Leila Pereira, the president of Palmeiras, has detailed her intentions for when her term concludes in December 2027. During an interview with ESPN, Pereira stated that she intends to step away completely from football administration and decision-making processes once her mandate ends.

Upon the conclusion of her presidency, she will become a lifetime counselor for the club. Pereira emphasized her desire to avoid interfering with future leadership, noting that former executives who continue to influence administrative routines can hinder the work of successors. She expressed a commitment to granting full autonomy to the next elected president.

Separately, details regarding the club's financial structure for 2026 have emerged. The squad's salary landscape shows Vitor Roque as the highest-paid player, with an approximate monthly cost of R$ 1.9 million. The club's strategy involves investing in high-profile players rather than older athletes to regain competitiveness in national and continental competitions.
