Palmeiras announced this Tuesday (19), the signing of goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, who belonged to Nottingham Forest, from England. The 26-year-old player has had stints at Corinthians and Internacional in Brazilian football.

He arrives at Palmeiras with a five-year contract and to be the immediate backup for Weverton, at this time. With a long-term contract, the trend is for the player to take over the position over the years.

Welcome, Palmeiras!

Carlos Miguel got to know the structure of the Football Academy and was impressed with what he saw. The goalkeeper also commented on the choice to return to Brazil at this time.

– My expectation is the best possible. I am very happy to truly know what Palmeiras is, all the history, how the club is organized. This was very important in my decision to come to Palmeiras and I am very happy. I talked to my family and the decision to return is the best possible. I would never hesitate about Palmeiras. For me, it's a joy. I hope to be able to meet everyone's expectations. I will be 100% focused until my last day here – he stated.

Highlight at the rival

Negotiated with Corinthians in 2021, the goalkeeper was languishing on Cássio's bench and had few chances at the black and white club. Over the years, he was gaining space with the drop in performance and pressure on the number 12 and began to gain important minutes.

As soon as he played, he was treated as an undisputed starter, with great performances in classics and being decisive for Corinthians.

However, Carlos Miguel had in his contract a penalty with a low value for foreign clubs, and Nottingham Forest came and took the goalkeeper at an important moment of the season, leaving Corinthians and the rival fans upset with the situation.

Few minutes in Europe

Negotiated with the English, the goalkeeper played little in England, being a reserve and very little used by the club.

With this, after the end of the European season, the player entered the list of the club's 'dispensable', and now had his agreement forwarded with the Greatest Champion of Brazil.
