The Brazilian giants from Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo have ambitious plans, they went for big beasts – Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho! The Brazilians like to have strong names in their championship, and almost every transfer window there are some (older) stars coming to play in Brazil. This time it’s these two aces.Journalist @CLMerlo has confirmed a verbal agreement between Luis Suarez and @Gremio 🇧🇷, who recently gained promotion back into Brazil’s 1st Division pic.twitter.com/mQlyM34mZU— Uruguay Football ENG (@UruguayFootENG) December 24, 2022 Gremio didn’t hesitate, they opened negotiations with ‘El Pistolero’ and intensified them after the return of the Uruguayan striker from the World Cup. The club from Porto Alegre is not able to cover the entire salary of Luis Suarez, but only a third, but they have an ace up their sleeve. Their partner companies could close the financial structure, progress has been made on that front, and Suarez’s representative is analyzing in detail the project presented to him.100 million spent and it’s not even January: Chelsea bringing wunderkind from BrazilBut, the Brazilians are not the only ones asking for Suarez’s service. The Mexican Cruz Azul went from words to actions and allegedly, an offer arrived at El Pistolero’s address. The contract is for two years, but the Uruguayan is in no hurry. In addition to Cruz Azul and Gremio, Luis Suarez has contract proposals from MLS as well. Also, he did not rule out the possibility of returning to Europe. Because of all this, in Porto Alegre they are not so sure that they will be able to hire him, but they are not giving up.”It will be very difficult. Progress has been made in the negotiations. Not everything depends on Suarez and Gremio. The financial operation is complex, requires time and has several participants”, said Gremio’s first man to the Brazilian media.##NAJAVA_MECA_6906259##And while Gremio is preparing a transfer-bomb in the form of Luis Suarez, Corinthians has stepped up to shake the South American soil. They are interested in getting Philippe Coutinho from Aston Villa, first on a loan. The club made enquiries from both the club and the player himself, and got the positive vibe. Coutinho’s agent has been put in motion to make the Corinthians deal possible as the Brazilian is a bit nostalgic. In Corinthians, they see Coutinho as a kind of replacement for Willian, who did not stay long in Sao Paulo. He made a quick return to England, where Philippe Coutinho flashed briefly and faded again. But the Brazilian offensive player does not rule out the possibility of staying in Europe. A long battle lies ahead for the Corinthians.
