Igor Gomes, of Atlético-MG, back on Grêmio's radar | OneFootball

Midfielder Igor Gomes is back on Grêmio’s radar. The club is monitoring the market and is expected to make an offer for the player at the end of this season. Igor Gomes, 27, was approached by the team from Rio Grande do Sul in the last transfer window, but the move did not progress into formal negotiations.

Igor Gomes was out of Atlético-MG’s plans shortly before the window, but he ended up being used again with the first team. The player managed to stand out somewhat under coach Eduardo Domínguez. After a long spell out, the midfielder played in eight of Galo’s last 10 matches this season.

During that time, Igor Gomes scored one goal and provided two assists. Even though he has been used frequently by Eduardo Domínguez, the player remains outside Atlético-MG’s plans for next season and is not expected to have his contract renewed by the Minas Gerais club.

Igor Gomes is already free to sign a pre-contract with any other club. The detail is that the player will leave Atlético-MG on a free transfer. In the meantime, the player’s representatives have been contacted by other clubs besides Grêmio. According to Agência RTI Esporte, there is no official offer for the player.

Igor Gomes can be signed regardless of Renato Gaúcho

Igor Gomes is a player highly rated by the club’s board. His arrival does not depend on coach Renato Gaúcho staying next season. The manager was recently hired with the mission of saving the team from relegation to Série B of the Brazilian Championship.

Renato has not yet assessed the market with the 2027 season in mind. He will only speak about the future after defining the club’s situation. After that, he will meet with Grêmio’s board to discuss his staying on in 2027. However, the club is working with assessments from the scouting and football departments to get a head start on negotiations.

Igor Gomes has the profile the club wants for midfield. In addition to his technical qualities, his attitude on the pitch and behind the scenes are points that count positively toward presenting an offer.
