Luís Castro reveals Edenílson asked to leave Grêmio | OneFootball

Luís Castro confirmed after the game against Juventude last Sunday that Edenílson asked to leave Grêmio. The player was not included in the match, which ended in a draw, and may be heading to Botafogo.

“He told me in a private meeting, and did not ask me to keep it confidential, that he would like to leave the club because at this moment he was not feeling well. He liked the group, the colleagues, the technical team very much, but at this moment he was not feeling well, so he asked to leave,” said the coach.

“Three days ago, Edenilson came to me and said he did not want to continue at Grêmio. This happened after the game with São Paulo. And I will not have players in the squad who do not want to be with us, even though I respect him a lot. If he doesn't want to stay, there's the justification,” the coach added.

Luís Castro also justified the athlete's choice in previous line-ups. “He played, but then what do you want me to do? Sometimes people might think I'm crazy, but I'm not.”

The athlete's current contract with Grêmio runs until the end of 2026, but the contract is expected to be terminated. Negotiations with Botafogo are advanced.
