Palmeiras contract proposal ENDRICK ESTÉVÃO

Clubs signing players at 16 face a hard limit of three seasons under current rules, meaning those athletes hit the age where they can leave right as their final contract year ends. That timing often leaves teams with no leverage to renew deals and forces them to sell young talent just to avoid losing them for free. Former Grêmio player Gabriel Mec lived through this exact scenario when renewal talks stalled, so the club had to move him to get any compensation back. Palmeiras is pushing to change that dynamic by extending the maximum initial professional contract duration from three seasons up to five seasons. The Verdão argues this shift would help keep top Brazilian football gems within domestic leagues for longer instead of seeing them slip away early. Via latiflavio (UOL)
