Weverton Pereira da Silva, simply known as Weverton (born 13 December 1987), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Palmeiras and the Brazil national team.

Club career

Born in Rio Branco, Acre, Weverton joined Corinthians' youth setup in 2005, aged 18, after impressing in a match for Juventus-AC. He was promoted to the former's main squad in 2007, but was demoted to fourth-choice after Rafael Santos' promotion. Weverton was subsequently loaned to Remo, Oeste[1] and América de Natal.[2] With the latter he appeared regularly in Série B, sharing minutes with the veteran Rodolpho.

Weverton was released by Timão in January 2010 and shortly after moved to Botafogo-SP. After impressing with the side, he signed for Portuguesa on 12 May.[3] Weverton was an undisputed starter at Lusa, appearing in all league matches in 2011, as his side were crowned champions.

In May 2012, he joined Atlético Paranaense, after his previous contract expired.[4] On 15 October 2014, after being named captain for the campaign, Wéverton renewed his contract until 2017.[5]

In December 2017, Weverton joined Palmeiras on a five-year deal,[6] for a rumoured fee of R$ 2 million. He missed the deciding penalty kick in the 2021 Recopa Sudamericana, resulting in a win for Defensa y Justicia.[7]

In August 2021, after winning against São Paulo in the quarterfinals of Copa Libertadores, Weverton overcame Marcos as the Palmeiras player with the most victories in the competition, with a total of 28 wins.[8]

International career

On 31 July 2016, Weverton was called by the Brazilian Olympic team for the 2016 Summer Olympics by manager Rogério Micale to replace Fernando Prass who left the team due to injury.[9] In the gold medal match, Weverton made a key save against Germany's Nils Petersen on the fifth penalty shot, which helped Brazil win their first Olympic football gold.[10]

After winning gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Weverton was called up by coach Tite to qualification matches against Ecuador and Colombia.[11]

Weverton made his return, after more than three years, to the Brazil national team on 9 October 2020. On the subject of making his return, Weverton said that "It was a special game for me."[12]

In June 2021, he was included in Brazil's squad for the 2021 Copa América on home soil.[13] On 23 June, he appeared in Brazil's third group match, a 2–1 win over Colombia.[14]
