With over 300 games and 12 titles, Mayke says goodbye to Palmeiras: “I cried a lot”


On the verge of being official as a strengthening of Santos, the back asked to anticipate the end of the bond with Alviverde




Mayke was at Allianz Parque last night (26), hours before the victory over Grêmio, to greet Palmeiras. In the midst of the imminent agreement with Santos, the player was only on the edge of the lawn to greet the fans, greet his companions and embrace the members of the technical staff. The gesture marked his farewell from the Alviverde after seven seasons.

The defender requested the dismissal of the club and received an early release from the Alviverde summit, also with a link in force until 31 December. In a meeting held on Friday (25), the Council understood the player’s desire and chose not to make it difficult to leave the rival. He then participated in the gym on Saturday afternoon (26), greeted and then went to Allianz Parque.

It is known that negotiations with Santos are well indicated, with a salary offer and contract time at a table. According to the calculation of “Diário do Peixe”, the Vila Club proposed the link until the end of 2027, with the possibility of renewal for another season.

“Farewell is always bad, I cried a lot. Friendship is a long time, right. But it is so, life is made of cycles. My ends here now, but with the duty made, which is the most important,” he told the press at the stadium.

Mayke and backstage order

The agreement to release the side initially involved counterparties and Palmeiras has even proposed the inclusion of JP Chermont as a condition. The Alviverde summit, by the way, acted similarly to Grêmio, which also investigated the athlete and received the exchange of the exchange from the goalkeeper Gabriel Grande.

Despite the initial position, the staff of the Council and coaching has accepted the athlete’s request for the company to continue without obstacles. The club then removed the requirements for the agreement. In the end, the departure was still celebrated by the coach Abel Ferreira.

“I am happy to see that the players leave the club and will be more recognized in terms of salary, contract time. I wanted to be with Mayke until the end, I will not lie. But the coach has a lot of heart. He asked, explained what happened. I can’t look at my interests,” he said.

Recognition of the coach

During the press conference, Abel strengthened the importance of the side in the locker room of San Paolo over the years. The player had been part of the cast since 2017 and accumulated the largest longevity of the group players.

“I recognize everything he did! Maybe the player has been in Palmeiras longer. An entire professional, playing or not playing. It costs me to see these players leave, but thanks for everything he has done for us,” he added.

The defender played 21 games this season – ten as an appetizer – but started occupying a secondary role in the cast. Without space among the first names, he chose to look for sequence and draft in another club. Grêmio, who had probed his situation, lost space in front of the Santos company.

History, numbers and results

Since his arrival in Verdon, the athlete has participated in 319 official matches, he shook his nets eight times and provided 25 assists. In his career, it was a frequent piece in the historical campaigns of the Abel Ferreira era.

Among the 12 successes, we highlight two Libertadores (2020 and 2021), three Brazilian championships (2018, 2022 and 2023), four Paulistas (2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024), in addition to the 2020 Cup, at 2022 Recopa South America and Braziliana Super Cup 2023.

Palmeiras cast options

Alviverde now keeps the sides of the sides Marcos Rocha and Giay in the defense sector. When asked about a possible substitute in the cast, Abel Ferreira said that the club remains aware of the movements.

“Now we have Rocha and Giay. We are always aware of the market. If something happens, that’s fine. Otherwise, that’s okay,” he replied in a press conference.

The team returns to the field next Wednesday (30), at 9:30 pm, to face the Corinthians for the 16 of the 16 of the Brazilian cup, in the Arena di Neo Chemistry. Already on Sunday (03), the challenge will be against Vitória, at 20:30, in Barradão, for the 18th round of Brazilirão.
