Among the current Palmeiras squad, only Raphael Veiga, Piquerez, and Gustavo Gómez were present in the club’s three-time Libertadores-winning team in 2021. Veiga, in fact, scored the team’s first goal in that year’s final against Flamengo, which ended 2-1 for Alviverde.

Since 2025, the São Paulo club has undergone a major overhaul, which has led to the departure of many players who were part of Palmeiras’ winning squads in recent years. Some of the successful Verdão players who have left the club since last year include: Dudu, Rony, Zé Rafael, Gabriel Menino, Marcos Rocha, and now Weverton joins the list.

In the last season, Verdão invested approximately R$ 700 million in players to replace those who left the club. In total, there were 12 signings: Vitor Roque, Micael, Jefté, Emiliano Martínez, Facundo Torres, Sosa, Lucas Evangelista, Khellven, Carlos Miguel, Bruno Fuchs, Paulinho, and Andreas Pereira. Despite the investment, the arrivals have not yet delivered as expected, resulting in a titleless year for Palmeiras.
