Grêmio take drastic action over former Flamengo player | OneFootball

What Did Grêmio Do with Gustavo Cuéllar, Former Flamengo Midfielder?

The behind-the-scenes at Grêmio are busy this Wednesday (25th). That's because, after a meeting, the team from Rio Grande do Sul decided to terminate the contract with Gustavo Cuéllar, the Colombian midfielder who previously played for Flamengo.

According to information released by ‘ESPN’, Grêmio reached an amicable agreement with Cuéllar for this termination. The official announcement, in fact, should be made soon by the Porto Alegre team.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR CUÉLLAR'S CONTRACT TERMINATION?

It's important to note that Grêmio had already been considering taking this measure with Cuéllar due to the poor atmosphere the player had with the fans. However, the breaking point for this decision happened during Carnival, when the Colombian was seen at Marquês de Sapucaí and later claimed to have a virus in order to skip training sessions.

Cuéllar joined Grêmio in January 2025 and had a contract with the club until the end of this year. However, with the contract terminated, the Colombian leaves the team after playing 31 matches, without scoring any goals or providing any assists.

DID GUSTAVO CUÉLLAR PLAY FOR FLAMENGO?

Yes! Flamengo signed Cuéllar at the beginning of 2016 and he remained at the club until mid-2019. The Colombian left the Rubro-Negro and went on to play for Al Hilal (SAU). Thus, the player was no longer part of the Mengão squad that won the Libertadores against River Plate (ARG) in Peru.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

While Cuéllar is without a club, the Flamengo squad is focusing on the Recopa Sudamericana final. The match will be against Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (26th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show all the details of the match with the most red-and-black coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, ESPN (free-to-air channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
