Weverton close to Palmeiras record, could equal Dudu in September | OneFootball

With the recent departures of Marcos Rocha and Mayke, goalkeeper Weverton has become the longest-serving player in Palmeiras’ current squad. A key figure since his arrival in 2018, the number 21 has accumulated titles, consistency, and leadership, and is now about to reach another significant milestone with the club.

Weverton has 130 victories in the Brazilian Championship wearing the green and white shirt and is just three away from matching forward Dudu, who leads the club’s all-time ranking in the competition with 133 wins. If Verdão maintains a 100% record this month, the goalkeeper could not only tie but also surpass the idol, establishing himself as the greatest winner in Palmeiras’ history in the country’s main competition.

In addition to the record, the 2025 season brings new challenges for the shot-stopper. Weverton faces the natural pressure of a direct battle for his position with Carlos Miguel, recently signed and being closely watched by the coaching staff. Another point of concern is the accumulation of yellow cards: the goalkeeper is on suspension notice and could miss a decisive moment in the Brasileirão, giving the new signing a chance to play.

Even so, Weverton’s importance goes beyond the pitch. A multi-title winner with the club, he is a leadership reference for an increasingly renewed squad. With frequent call-ups to the Brazilian National Team in recent years, the number 21 remains one of the country’s top names in his position.
