Arriving in Barra Funda with the tough mission of replacing his idol, he leaves after eight years, 12 cups and 454 games played. , compared to Palmeiras’ proposal for renewal until the end of 2027. Weverton lost ground last year with the arrival of Carlos Miguel, who took over the position when the goalkeeper had a crack in his right hand in October.
Palmeiras officially announced Weverton’s departure on social media this Wednesday (14), with tributes paid before the classic against Santos in the Campeonato Paulista. President Leila Pereira gave him a plaque with all his marks and achievements for Verdão.
Those were unforgettable moments, Paredão! Forever, marked in our history. Thank you, Verton! 💚

Weverton’s last years at Palmeiras were not unquestionable. Some fans placed the responsibility for some defeats on the goalkeeper, such as, for example, the 2025 World Cup, and believe that the athlete’s peak had already passed. Despite this, the fans also paid their respects and recognized the achievements of one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of Palmeiras. Weverton won two Libertadores with Palmeiras, in addition to three Brazilian Championships and a Copa do Brasil.
See the repercussion on the networks:
We can criticize within the sporting sphere, we can even like Carlos Miguel’s exit due to Carlos Miguel’s moment, but don’t ask me to be crazy enough to disrespect this here…
All the luck in the world to Weverton at Grêmio, ONE of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of Palmeiras

Nobody is eternal. No one maintains the same level always. Weverton wrote a p. History in Palmeiras. Like everyone else, he also failed. It’s part of it. What matters is that he honored the shirt and never disrespected the club/fans.
Thank you, Verton.
