Gremio has seven players in contract final stretch after World Cup break. Three names are considered key players and important in the team trained by Luís Castro: Pavon, Amuzu, and Carlos Vinicius. The club's top scorer in the season has already had talks to renew with the club. His contract includes a clause for extension until 2027, based on goals achieved in 2026. Despite this, the expectation is that Carlos Vinicius will extend his contract for even more time. Another striker, Amuzu, is also on the list of possible renewals by the club's board. In recent days, however, the left winger stated that he had not been approached to extend his contract. "No one spoke to me and my agent. Of course, I want to stay, but we'll see", said the player, at the end of May. Pavon's situation is uncertain. After the recovery of good performances — from the improvisation as a right-back — the Argentine gained the trust of Gremio and may have his contract renewed. A return to his country of origin, however, is not ruled out. Other players have contracts until the end of December 2026. Among them is Caio Paulista, on loan from Palmeiras. Gremio does not rule out negotiating players and should facilitate some exits in case of proposals. Some names with a close link to the end are on this list, such as Marcos Rocha, Dodi, and Willian. The trend is that the trio will not have an extension in their respective contracts with the club. Willian reacted to the supposed request to leave Gremio. The player spoke out after speculation that he had requested the board to leave the club. "Contrary to what is being reported in some media that cover Gremio, I want to clarify that at no time did I have any conversation with the club's board expressing my desire to leave", wrote Willian on social media. Subsequently, the former Brazilian national team player stated that he intends to remain in the Tricolor until the end of the contract — in December 2026. "I have a contract with Gremio until December and I will continue in the club until the end of the same or until the club desires", he completed.
