Without Ferreirinha, Grêmio visits Juventude, for the 6th round of the Gauchão

Grêmio faces Juventude, this Thursday (9), at 7:30 pm, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium. With an impeccable campaign in numbers, Tricolor is still looking for the best formation and uses the Gaucho Championship for that. Coach Renato Portaluppi must make more changes in the midfield and will not be able to count on striker Ferreirinha, preserved due to physical wear. With that, Galdino should be the starter in the attack.

In addition, Diogo Barbosa should gain another chance at left-back, while Bruno Albes replaces Uvini, injured, in the defense. The probable Gremista lineup may have Brenno; Fabio, Bruno Alves, Kannemann and Diogo Barbosa; Carballo, Pepê, Cristaldo, Bitello and Galdino; Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan is confirmed as the main attraction at Alfredo Jaconi.

While the team went up to Serra, the gremista leadership finalized the negotiations with Ceará to have midfielder Vina as a reinforcement for the season. To play in Porto Alegre, the 31-year-old athlete has a two-year contract and will receive around R$ 350,000 in salary. He is seen as a good substitute for the position of Argentine Cristaldo. Vina is a finishing attacking midfielder with playmaking skills and features infiltration passes and kicks from outside the area.

Still with Ceará, Grêmio finalizes negotiations for the loan of Pedro Lucas, a midfielder at the base who had little space in the professional. The 20-year-old athlete should play the season for Vozão to gain experience.

In addition, Colombian midfielder Jaminton Campaz is being negotiated with Argentine Rosario Central. The conversation would involve a loan of the player for US$ 800,000 with a buyout clause of US$ 1.5 million. The deal is well advanced and Tricolor considers the value set by Campaz acceptable, as it believes that the midfielder was unable to adapt to Brazilian football.

Striker Guilherme will be loaned to Fortaleza, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda. After failing to close a deal with Curitiba and Sport, Leão accepted Tricolor’s terms on loan until the end of the season. Without space with Portaluppi, Guilherme will have new airs to find his football again.
