Palmeiras’ Weverton has come under fire for his recent performances, particularly in the Club World Cup quarter-final defeat to Chelsea. The Brazilian goalkeeper’s struggles have sparked debate over his status as the club’s first-choice keeper, with some calling for a change between the posts.
Journalist Leandro Quesada has weighed in on the discussion, suggesting that Carlos Miguel, currently playing for Nottingham Forest, could be an excellent replacement. During an appearance on Placar magazine, Quesada expressed his admiration for the 25-year-old goalkeeper, stating, “I would bring in a goalkeeper. You know who? Carlos Miguel. He’s a player that Brazilian football should look at more carefully, unless there’s some off-field issue we don’t know about that could get in the way of his promising career.”
Carlos Miguel has struggled to break into Nottingham Forest’s first team, signing a long-term deal earlier this year but failing to make a single appearance. With Weverton under pressure and Carlos Miguel seeking regular minutes, the possibility of a move has been floated in the Brazilian media.
While it’s still speculation at this point, the scenario could potentially open doors for both players. Palmeiras might see Carlos Miguel as a viable alternative to Weverton, while the English Premier League side could benefit from a hefty transfer fee. For now, it remains to be seen whether Carlos Miguel will get the opportunity to showcase his skills in the spotlight or continue to languish on the sidelines at Nottingham Forest. One thing is certain, though – Weverton will need to rediscover his form if he wants to keep his place between the posts.
