Roger Guedes on Grêmio offers, praises Arthur Jorge | OneFootball

In the last transfer window, Grêmio showed strong interest in signing Roger Guedes, who is currently at Al-Rayyan in Qatar. The forward admitted that there were talks and official proposals, but the deal with the team from Rio Grande do Sul ended up being blocked.

“There were conversations. Two or three official proposals came from Grêmio, they kept increasing the amounts, but our president did not accept the offer,” he revealed in an interview with TNT Sports.

Despite the approach from the team from the south, Roger said he is not thinking about returning to Brazil, where he played for Corinthians, Palmeiras, and Atlético-MG.

“Right now, I’m not thinking about returning to Brazil because of my family, but we know that in football, one moment you’re here and the next you’re there, so I leave it in God’s hands,” he declared.

“I have a contract here. As I said when I came here, I had the dream of being with my family and I’m fulfilling that. What happened had to happen, but I was happy to receive this proposal from Grêmio,” he added.

Roger Guedes praises Arthur Jorge’s style

At the start of this year, Roger Guedes began working under coach Arthur Jorge, who won the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores in 2024 with Botafogo. The forward praised the Portuguese coach and spoke about his methods.

“I always say that he went to Brazil and became half Brazilian. He makes us feel at home. The dynamics are very similar to those in Brazil. Even the Qataris say that the training sessions are more intense with him than they were before. His tactical approach is also very good. You can understand his success in Brazilian football,” he concluded.
