Rangers have banked a significant profit on the transfer deal, having signed Jefte from Fluminense for £800k last year after his loan spell at APOEL.
The Ibrox club also have performance-based add-ons and a sell-on fee included in the deal.
Jefte went on to hail the facilities at his new club as he vowed "not even in Europe" do they have a similar structure, when referencing his new surroundings at Allianz Parque.
"I've played against Palmeiras a few times in the youth team, I've played at Allianz Parque," he said.
"The first impression was wonderful; not even in Europe does it have a structure like this.
"So it was something that really impressed me.
"Palmeiras is a gigantic club, really big, and I'm very impressed."
