Alexander Barboza

In April 2026, reports claimed Palmeiras would pay US$4 million (approximately €3.7 million) for an immediate transfer from Botafogo. This is contrasted with numerous reports from the same month detailing the possibility of him signing a pre-contract in July 2026 for a free transfer in January 2027, due to his expiring contract. His market value was also repeatedly cited by Transfermarkt as €5.00 million in March and April 2026.

Our valuation for Alexander Barboza is driven by consistent reports from April 2026 of Palmeiras' interest. The key factor is his expiring contract at the end of 2026, creating two possibilities: a free transfer in January 2027 or an immediate move for a fee. The estimate is anchored by a specific report that Palmeiras will pay US$4 million (~€3.7 million) to secure him in the next window, avoiding an auction for his signature on a free transfer.
