Weverton joins Grêmio, hails Fábio as model of longevity | OneFootball

Grêmio’s new signing for the season, goalkeeper Weverton, 38 years old, highlighted the importance of dedication and used Fábio, from Fluminense, as a great example of longevity in football. In a recent interview, the goalkeeper praised the level maintained by the tricolor’s number 1 even at 45 years old.

The goalkeeper has just left Palmeiras, the club he had played for since 2018, to sign with Grêmio. Weverton’s recent trajectory bears similarities to Fábio’s, who in 2022, at 41 years old, ended a long 17-season spell at Cruzeiro and signed with Fluminense.

Since then, Fábio has remained the undisputed starter and technical reference for the Tricolor, being decisive in historic campaigns and maintaining a high level of performance, becoming a symbol of professionalism and longevity in world football.
