Grêmio approach Palmeiras, move closer to signing Weverton | OneFootball

At Palmeiras since 2018, goalkeeper Weverton may leave the club in the coming days. The player with the most titles in Verdão’s history in his position is in negotiations with Grêmio.

Approach to Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Grêmio, which already has an agreement with the player, officially approached Alviverde in the last few hours and advanced in talks to sign the number 21. The parties are trying to align the details to finalize the deal.

In recent days, Palmeiras’ management had become irritated with the stance of the club from Rio Grande do Sul in approaching Weverton’s staff directly and not negotiating with Verdão, since the player has a contract until the end of 2026.

Future Decision

NP had reported that the parties expected to decide the future still this week. Alviverde initially showed the desire to keep the number 21 until 2026 and indicated a possible renewal until the end of 2027.

New Palmeiras Registrations

On Tuesday (13), Palmeiras registered goalkeepers Aranha and Kauan Lima, both from the youth academy, for the Paulista Championship.

Abel talks about Palmeiras goalkeepers

After Verdão’s debut in the Paulistão last Saturday (10), coach Abel Ferreira spoke about the situation of goalkeepers Carlos Miguel, Weverton, and Marcelo Lomba.

– Weverton has a contract, he is a Palmeiras player, he won titles with me and is the greatest goalkeeper in Palmeiras’ history, whether people like it or not. He knows what we did with Rocha, we renewed four, five times, after he showed performance. He knows what I expect from him. My preference is to have two players for each position at the same level, and then choose. It’s a position I’m very happy with. I have Weverton, Carlos, and Lomba – he said.

NOSSO PALESTRA reported that coach Abel Ferreira plans to rotate the goalkeeper position during the year. The Palmeiras manager’s idea is to alternate, mainly the first two, in all competitions the club will play this season, something common in European football clubs.
