# Palmeiras squad management and financial growth > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/palmeiras-squad-management-and-player-transfers > Updated: 2026-11-08T17:34:27.000Z. Sources: 13. Developments: 2. Palmeiras is executing long term squad planning through contract extensions and player sales. The club initially moved to extend the contract of goalkeeper Kauan Lima, a Brazil U-20 player, to potentially keep him until the end of 2029 as he prepares for a professional promotion in 2027. Lima has since secured his contract extension through December 2029, as the club seeks to utilize academy talent to manage its goalkeeper position. Following these efforts, the club has progressed toward a permanent sale of defender Micael to Inter Miami for approximately R$ 30 million. Recent developments show the club is also in discussions to extend the contract of midfielder Maurício, who is currently under agreement through 2028. On the pitch, Palmeiras has achieved significant financial milestones by advancing to the Copa do Brasil final after defeating Vasco in a penalty shootout. This advancement guarantees at least R$ 52 million in prize money, with the potential to reach R$ 96 million. The club is also competing in the Libertadores final, which offers substantial prize money in US dollars. These successes align with a broader financial trend where the club has reportedly generated R$ 2.8 billion from youth academy sales over the last decade. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-08: Palmeiras advances in Copa do Brasil and Libertadores while managing player transfers Palmeiras is boosting its finances through Copa do Brasil and Libertadores success while negotiating the sale of Micael to Inter Miami and extending goalkeeper Kauan Lima’s contract to 2029. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/palmeiras-advances-micael-sale-and-extends-kauan-lima-contract ### 2026-11-05: Palmeiras plans professional promotion for goalkeeper Kauan Lima Palmeiras is negotiating a contract extension for goalkeeper Kauan Lima, aiming to integrate the Brazil U-20 player into the professional squad by 2027. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/palmeiras-plans-professional-promotion-for-goalkeeper-kauan-lima --- Cite as: Palmeiras squad management and financial growth.
