Where the Grêmio players who rescinded contracts in 2026 are now | OneFootball

Grêmio cut ties with nine players in 2026 amid a squad overhaul. Willian was the last to agree a termination in August, sums undisclosed. According to Globo.com, eight first quarter exits cost R$ 45 million, and the club says completing the contracts would have reached R$ 95 million.

Jemerson was the first to rescind in January and now starts for São Bernardo in Série B. Goalkeeper Tiago Volpi left soon after Weverton arrived and joined Bragantino, where he is first choice under Vagner Mancini.

Felipe Carballo has not played since 30 August 2025 after an ACL rupture on loan at Portland Timbers. Grêmio fined him for an alleged late return, then rescinded his deal. He is negotiating with Nacional-URU and training with LSM in the country’s third tier.

Academy graduate Mila left after repeated loans and joined Anápolis in Série C. Rodrigo Ely signed for Almería in Spain, is mostly a starter in the second division and is contracted to 2028. He is being treated for arthritis in his right knee.

Edenilson initially featured under Luís Castro, but after fan criticism and a Botafogo offer he agreed to go and signed there. After one outing for Grêmio, Cuéllar terminated and joined Deportivo Cali, where he is starting regularly.

Franco Cristaldo moved to Talleres after failing to convince Mano Menezes and Luís Castro. Willian left due to salary and role and is without a club at 37, though still open to playing abroad.
