Grêmio in talks with Weverton, unsettling Palmeiras – find out more | OneFootball

Idol of Palmeiras, the goalkeeper Weverton may leave the club this season. The 38-year-old player is negotiating directly with Grêmio, and the stance of the team from Rio Grande do Sul has been bothering Verdão.

Grêmio is looking for a new goalkeeper and contacted Weverton without any prior notice or conversation with Palmeiras. Bahia, a few days ago, attempted to sign the goalkeeper, but unlike the Immortal, they discussed a possible agreement with Alviverde, which did not materialize.

The news about Grêmio's contact with Weverton was initially reported by Estadão and later confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Long-standing desire

Grêmio had already contacted Weverton and his representatives in December, but the agreement did not happen. This time, the negotiation between the parties is gaining momentum.

Weverton, on the other hand, faces competition from Carlos Miguel for the goalkeeper position at Palmeiras and wishes to have more playing time, which is why he would welcome a change of scenery. He has a contract with the São Paulo club until the end of the year.

In 2025, Weverton played 58 matches for Palmeiras and conceded 42 goals. The goalkeeper ended the year injured and as a club absentee, which opened the way for Carlos Miguel to take over the starting position.
