Palmeiras’ Carlos Miguel has played only 4% of Weverton’s games | OneFootball

Palmieras announced on Tuesday the hiring of goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, who was at Nottingham Forest, in England. At Verdão, the goalkeeper will have competition from Weverton and Marcelo Lomba.

In this new chapter of his career, Carlos Miguel seeks to establish himself to increase his number of games as a professional. In total, the 26-year-old goalkeeper has only 36 games.

Despite being formed in the youth categories of Internacional, the athlete played for the first time as a professional at Boa Esporte, in 2021, where he played 8 games in the Campeonato Mineiro.

After passing through the Minas Gerais team, Carlos Miguel transferred to Corinthians to dispute space with established Cássio. In four seasons with Timão, he managed to stand out and made 25 appearances.

The goalkeeper drew the attention of European football and agreed to join Nottingham Forest last year. However, with the English team's shirt, Carlos Miguel couldn't find space and only entered the field three times.

Strong competition

Now at Palmeiras, the goalkeeper will have to unseat the experienced Weverton, the titleholder of the position since 2018. Alone in this season, the 37-year-old athlete has more games than Carlos Miguel throughout his career.

In 2025, the Palmeiras titleholder has 47 appearances, 11 more than the new reinforcement as a professional. In total, there are 910 games, with passages also through Athletico-PR, Portuguesa, Botafogo-SP, América-RN, Oeste, and Remo, in addition to the Brazilian National Team.

Thus, Carlos Miguel sums up approximately only 4% of Weverton's games in his career.
