Grêmio set to offload more players after early season assessments | OneFootball

After arranging Cristaldo's departure, Grêmio continues working behind the scenes to finalize a last batch of exits from the squad in the coming days.

According to information from ge, the Chilean forward Aravena already has his loan arranged to Portland Timbers, from MLS.

In addition to him, the management is advancing in negotiations for the termination of midfielder Cuéllar's contract, who is expected to leave the team soon. Last week, the club had already agreed on Edenilson's move to Botafogo.

The understanding of the Grêmio leadership is that the first games of the year were essential to fairly evaluate the group.

From this analysis, it was possible to determine which players have the ideal characteristics to continue in the project designed by the management in conjunction with the coaching staff.

With the completion of the deal involving Aravena, the Tricolor will reach the impressive mark of 19 players negotiated.

In this filtering process, experienced names lost space. Kannemann and Cuéllar are the most prominent players less used by coach Luís Castro, with only one match played each in the season.

The same low playing time is repeated among the youth players: defender Luís Eduardo, promoted this year, and midfielder Riquelme, who was promoted last year, also entered the field only once.
