Grêmio's 8 loan players in 2026, where they stand | OneFootball

With the transfer window open and the market heating up during the FIFA World Cup, Grêmio is closely monitoring the situation of its players currently spread across other teams.

At the moment, the Tricolor Gaúcho has eight players out on loan, some of whom have important contractual situations to be resolved in the middle of the year.

Check out the detailed overview of each player, according to information from ge!

The Forwards

Kike Olivera (Bahia): The marquee signing that did not work out in the South had a turbulent spell and was loaned to Bahia until the end of the year. At the Bahia club, he has 25 appearances (16 as a starter), 2 goals, and 2 assists. He had hoped to go to the FIFA World Cup with Uruguay, but was left off the squad. He is under contract with Grêmio until the end of 2027.

Arezo (Peñarol-URU): The 23-year-old Uruguayan striker is on loan at Peñarol until December. In 2026, he has 23 appearances and 9 goals. The Uruguayan club has a purchase option set at R$20 million and has already signaled its desire to trigger it (although it is trying to negotiate the amount). Note: River Plate-URU recently charged Grêmio over a debt related to a percentage of this loan deal.

Aravena (Portland Timbers-USA): With no room in 2026 (only 4 appearances in the South), the Chilean was loaned to MLS until December. In the United States, he has 16 appearances (5 as a starter), but has not yet been involved in any goals. His contract with Tricolor runs until the end of 2028.

Jardiel (Novorizontino): Top scorer of the Copinha in 2024, the Grêmio academy product had few chances with the senior team. Loaned to Novorizontino to play in Série B until the end of the year, he has made 8 appearances and scored 1 goal. His contract with Grêmio runs until February 2027.

Midfield

Ronald (Fortaleza): The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, developed in the academy, is playing for Leão do Pici until December. This season, he has made 22 appearances (10 as a starter) for Fortaleza. He is seen as a club asset and is under contract with Grêmio until the end of 2027.

Camilo (Chapecoense): Signed by Tricolor in 2025, he never managed to establish himself. He was loaned to Chapecoense in December last year for one season and has managed to become an undisputed starter for the Santa Catarina side, totaling 29 matches.

Defense and Goal: The Undecided Cases

Adriel (AVS-POR): The goalkeeper is in the most urgent situation. His loan to the Portuguese side (where he played 16 times and conceded 24 goals) ends on June 30. AVS has an option to buy 70% of his rights, but has not yet indicated whether it will exercise that right. Developed in Grêmio’s academy, Adriel lost space after disciplinary issues and is under contract with Grêmio until 2027.

João Lucas (Remo): The 28-year-old right-back was loaned to the club from Pará and had been doing well, with 12 appearances. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in March and will miss a large part of the season. His deal with Tricolor runs until the end of 2027.
