Palmeiras Rejects €25 Million Bid From Spartak for José ‘Flaco’ López

The São Paulo club says López is not for sale and is demanding at least $40 million to consider a transfer.

Overview

  • Three outlets reported on Tuesday that Spartak Moscow submitted a €25 million offer for López structured as €20 million up front plus €5 million in performance bonuses.
  • Palmeiras publicly rejected the proposal and signalled it does not intend to sell the 25‑year‑old forward at that price.
  • López remains under contract with Palmeiras through the end of 2029 according to reports, giving the club bargaining leverage.
  • The striker’s recent World Cup appearances and club form—71 goals in 214 games for Palmeiras and 14 goals with 10 assists in 35 matches before the tournament—have raised European interest.
  • With Transfermarkt valuing López around €25 million and Palmeiras asking roughly $40 million, transfer talks are unresolved and the player’s future will depend on whether offers rise or Palmeiras changes its stance.
