Gremio HubGremio may lose its goalkeeper Gabriel Grando to Palmeiras. The negotiations between the two clubs are advanced, with the Sao Paulo team seeking to strengthen its squad for the Club World Cup.
What's happening?
Gabriel Grando, 25, is a reserve in the Tricolor Gaúcho squad and has been the subject of conversations between the two clubs. The talks have been going on for a few weeks, with a proposal being structured by the Sao Paulo club.
Palmeiras' interest is linked to the need to restructure the position from the second half of the year. With the likely departure of Marcelo Lomba at the end of his contract in December, Grando would be prepared to take over as Weverton's backup initially.
Why is this important for Gremio?
The possible departure of Gabriel Grando could mean a loss for Gremio, which needs to keep its squad competitive. Additionally, the Gaúcho team needs to find a replacement for the goalkeeper, in case the negotiation with Palmeiras is finalized.
