Mayke lives a decisive moment of career. The link with Palmeiras ends in December 2025 and, since the beginning of July, the defender has been able to sign a pre-contract with other teams. However, the San Paolo club excludes it in advance and has already reported the intention of renewal. The proposal under discussion includes the extension until December 2026.
On the other hand, Santos has shown interest in taking it using the same legal appeal. The Santos proposal provides for a commitment between two and three years, a format considered advantageous for athletes of over 30 years, age group in which the team adapts.
The Board of Directors of Alvinegra, however, has not yet formalized a success and representatives of the player strengthen that the stay in the current club is a priority.
Club history and recent performance
The right back hit the cast in 2017, initially on loan by Cruzeiriro. Two years later, he was definitively acquired. Since then, he has accumulated 313 games, has scored eight goals and distributed 25 assists. In 2023, he recorded his best sign in decisive passages, with eight assists. With 12 titles won, it is part of the group of the most winning players in the history of Alviverde.
Despite the solid trajectory, he had to face a 2024 marked by injuries and a reduction in the number of minutes on the field. The season was considered by coach Abel Ferreira as the most difficult defender of the club.
In 2025, with consolidated Giay in place, Mayke was used in more advanced roles on the right side, also appearing as an option in the system with wings together with names such as Felipe Anderson and Stephen before moving to Chelsea.
Internal environment and council planning
Internally, Palmeiras evaluates to maintain expert athletes for short periods. Recent examples include annual renewals for players such as Marcos Rocha and Marcelo Lomba. The most streamlined model, however, differs from the Santista approach, which consists of longer bonds as a market strategy to strengthen the cast still in the reconstruction in the Brazilian championship.
The Baixada Club, although outside the relegation area, is still unstable in competition and seeks occasional reinforcements.
Declarations and projections
Sources related to the athlete deny any type of blow with the Vila Belmiro Club, underlining that preference remains the current team. The Palestrine Council, in turn, reported that the negotiations for the stay will be intensified after the dispute on the club’s world cup, scheduled for this second half.
