Eduard Atuesta is in the process of departing from Palmeiras, as the club is working towards terminating his contract, which was initially set to last until 2026. It has been reported that Atuesta has agreed to relinquish a substantial portion of the compensation he was entitled to receive to ease the negotiations. Palmeiras will maintain a percentage of the player's economic rights. Atuesta is reportedly in advanced discussions with Orlando City and is anticipated to join the MLS club once his contract with Palmeiras is concluded. After returning to Palmeiras following a loan spell at LAFC last year, he participated in three matches under the guidance of coach Abel Ferreira. The decision to find a new club for him was made by Palmeiras because he did not align with the team's playing style.

Eduard Atuesta is not expected to be utilized by Palmeiras for the season and has attracted interest from Orlando City in the MLS. The negotiations have progressed recently but are not yet finalized. Atuesta has a contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2026 and was on loan to Los Angeles FC from February 2024. Palmeiras is open to a definitive sale to recover part of their investment.
