Palmeiras goalkeeper on his way out

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that goalkeeper Aranha has agreed to join Moreirense, from Portugal, on loan until mid-2027. The player will travel in the coming days to sign his contract with the Portuguese club.

– First of all, I want to thank God, who enabled me and gave me strength every day to keep fighting. I am also very grateful to Palmeiras for everything it provided me and for preparing me and projecting me toward European football. I was able to grow as an athlete and, above all, as a person. Without the experience I had here, I would not be the Aranha I am today – Aranha told NP

– It is an opportunity to keep evolving, growing and, God willing, playing. I believe that at this moment I need to play in order to reach the place I aim for in my career – he concluded

The 20-year-old arrived at Palmeiras in 2022 for the Under-17 team after standing out at Sport. Currently, the goalkeeper is third in the pecking order behind Carlos Miguel and Marcelo Lomba and is under contract with Verdão until June 2029.

Future in Verdão’s goal

NP reported that the coaching staff and the Alviverde board are working on the goalkeeping plan for the remainder of the season and the coming years.

Marcelo Lomba, the immediate backup to Carlos Miguel, has a contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2026 and has been renewing his deal with the club on a yearly basis. There is still no final decision, but at this point the tendency is that the No. 14 will not remain at Verdão in 2027.

Kaique, who played for Nacional-POR, reported back normally with his teammates this Wednesday (24). The Academy graduate is in the coaching staff’s plans, and a negotiation will only happen in the event of an offer seen as excellent for all parties.

The expectation is that the young player will take over the role of Palmeiras’ second-choice goalkeeper starting in 2027, establish himself as Carlos Miguel’s immediate backup, and receive more opportunities over the course of the seasons.
