Palmeiras want to keep Weverton, await decision on keeper renewal | OneFootball

Palmeiras may have, throughout the 2026 season, three experienced options for the goalkeeper position. Carlos Miguel, Weverton, and Marcelo Lomba start the year as alternatives for the position.

Desire for maintenance at Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the Verdão's football management, in recent conversations with Weverton, indicated the desire to keep him in the squad led by Abel Ferreira. The number 21 has been the subject of inquiries from Brazilian clubs in recent weeks, and a departure, with a final more advantageous contract, would not be ruled out.

Because of this, Palmeiras is awaiting a decision from the goalkeeper about the next steps in his career to move forward with a renewal until the end of 2027. The planning directly involves those responsible for preparing the athletes in the position.

Goalkeeper rotation

NP reported in recent days that coach Abel Ferreira plans a rotation in 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 the first two, in all competitions the club will participate in during the season, something common in European football clubs.
