Weverton was the undisputed starter until October, playing in 58 matches. Towards the end of the season, the goalkeeper suffered a fracture in his right hand and missed the rest of the year. The goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, formerly of Corinthians, who joined Palmeiras in August, took over as the starter after Weverton's injury.

In his 58 games, Weverton conceded 42 goals, averaging 0.7 goals per match. On the other hand, he made 136 saves during this period, with a 76% success rate. Additionally, he kept 26 clean sheets.

Mistakes…

Weverton's season came under more scrutiny after the Club World Cup. In the quarter-finals against Chelsea, the goalkeeper was marked by a mistake that led to Palmeiras' elimination from the tournament.

Following the match against the English team, criticism and pressure increased on the goalkeeper. In the competition held in the United States, he played in five games and conceded three goals.

And for 2026?

With Carlos Miguel as the starter, Weverton will face strong competition in 2026. The multi-champion goalkeeper with Palmeiras has a contract with the club until the end of the next season and hopes to return in good shape to compete for the starting position.
