Overview
- Palmeiras confirmed the sale of 80% of Amanda Gutierres’ economic rights to Boston Legacy for US$1.1 million (about R$5.87 million) plus bonuses.
- Gutierres, the club’s all-time leading scorer with 68 goals in 92 matches, will remain through December and join Boston for the 2026 NWSL season.
- The fee sets a national transfer record and makes her the most expensive South American female player, surpassing the previous Brazilian mark set by Tarciane at US$960,000.
- Palmeiras’ women’s football director said the funds will be invested in a center of excellence and technology to support the club’s athletes.
- The move comes during a rapid rise in women’s transfer activity, with FIFA tracking US$12.3 million in fees from June to September 2025, nearly double the same period last year.
