Part 3/7:
Prominent players like Gabriel Jesus, Danilo, and the emerging stars like Hendrick and Stevan have drawn the attention of international teams, enhancing Palmeiras' financial standing. This shift is attributed to a long-term investment in a strong youth academy and the appointment of key professionals, like João Paulo Sampaio, who has fostered a culture of player development.
Historically, Palmeiras was not recognized as a club that developed players. Instead, it relied heavily on purchasing talent; however, over the last decade, it has pivoted towards a sustainable model centered on developing and selling homegrown players.
