Willian brushes aside rumours and confirms he is staying at Grêmio | OneFootball

Midfielder Willian, 37, used his social media to clarify his future at the club.

Amid speculation about a possible departure, the player assured that he will honor his contract with the Tricolor Gaúcho.

Willian categorically denied that he had approached the board to ask to leave.

The midfielder said he will remain at the club until December (the end of his contract) or for as long as Grêmio wants.

Interest from Abroad

Despite his decision to stay, the player has attracted interest from two MLS (Major League Soccer) teams in the United States: FC Dallas and San Diego.

Signed in September 2025, the player has made 27 appearances, scored two goals, and provided five assists.

However, injuries have hampered his continuity in 2026 under coach Luís Castro. He did not even come off the bench in the last two matches before the break.

Willian and the rest of the Grêmio squad are on vacation due to the World Cup break and will return on June 17.
