The surprise was even greater because the directors had a good relationship. So much so that, in this transfer window, Alviverde facilitated the negotiation of Caio Paulista to Grêmio.
Tricolor, in turn, tries to overcome the bad first impression to advance. Grêmio counts on the player’s desire as an asset in negotiations.
Weverton is behind Carlos Miguel for the starting spot in Palmeiras’ goal and wants to play more. In Porto Alegre, he would have this chance, as Tiago Volpi is on the transfer list. Gabriel Grando recently renewed, but doesn’t have the same experience.
Faced with this scenario, Weverton’s staff looked for options. First, the goalkeeper was offered to Bahia, who did not advance. Grêmio already had the Palmeiras archer on their list and decided to negotiate.
The idea is to have Weverton permanently. O UOL found that Grêmio wants a one-season contract, with the possibility of automatic renewal based on goals.
With conversations in good tone with Weverton’s staff, Grêmio will need to put out the fire at Palmeiras to advance. Behind the scenes, the Rio Grande do Sul club knows the difficulty of negotiating, but will try anyway.
