Club América push for Grêmio striker Carlos Vinícius after offer rejected | OneFootball

According to Americayya.net, Club América are pursuing Grêmio forward Carlos Vinícius, with the Brazilian having turned down an initial offer in recent weeks. The Mexico City club remain keen on a deal.

América have moved slowly in this window, adding only Óscar Perea and Edwin Cerrillo. A centre forward is a priority after ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga fell out of plans, and the board aim to bring in two or three more players, with possible outgoings.

The proposal to Vinícius was worth six million dollars a year, rising to seven million with bonuses, and was rejected by the player. He is prioritising Grêmio and there is optimism around a renewal, with his contract up at the end of the year. América’s hierarchy are convinced they can complete the signing and intend to submit another offer.

He would prefer to stay if his renewal terms are improved, otherwise he would consider leaving.

Vinícius, 31, has previously played for Fulham, Benfica, PSV and Tottenham. For Grêmio he has delivered 50 appearances, 30 goals and three assists.
