Palmeiras Goalkeepers

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that coach Abel Ferreira plans to rotate the goalkeeper position throughout the year. Currently, the Verdão squad includes Carlos Miguel, Weverton, and Marcelo Lomba, who will renew his contract for 2026.

The idea of the Palmeiras coach is to alternate, mainly between the first two, in all the competitions the club will participate in this season, something common in European football clubs.

Who will be the starter?

Carlos Miguel, signed in mid-2025, finished the season as a starter after Weverton suffered a hand injury and performed well in the final stages of the Brazilian Championship and Conmebol Libertadores games.

Weverton, on the other hand, is looking to regain his position among the starters. The goalkeeper has been the subject of inquiries during this transfer window, such as from Grêmio, and has an offer to renew until the end of 2027. The current contract is valid until December 2026.
