Gremio made an official proposal to keep Arthur at the club until December 2028. The offer was made at the meeting on the Monday of last week, one of the meetings that Gremio had already confirmed with the player. The proposal is for a contract until December 2028, ensuring Arthur's stay for another two and a half years. Gremio understands the importance of the player, who is the team captain, and placed the athlete among the highest salaries in the squad. However, the offer is not out of the club's standards, mainly because Gremio is going through a difficult financial time and is working on a plan to reduce the payroll. The idea of the management is to make an effort to keep Arthur, but without compromising the club's finances further. Now, the proposal is in the hands of Arthur and his representatives. Currently, the player's father and brother are responsible for managing his career and participate directly in the conversations. Gremio also had to change its plans for the off-season, as the quadrangular that was to be held in Brasilia was canceled after the participants' withdrawal. The club is now looking for new friendlies to complete the preparation schedule. The friendly against Cascavel is still confirmed and has no relation to the debt between the clubs regarding the percentage of the Bitello negotiation.
