Carlos Vinícius linked to Corinthians amid Grêmio contract uncertainty

Forward Carlos Vinícius is facing an uncertain future at Grêmio as contract renewal negotiations have stalled. Despite a strong individual performance in 2026, where he recorded 20 goals and two assists in 49 matches, discussions to extend his stay until 2028 have not progressed, primarily due to financial disagreements.

The striker is reportedly seeking a monthly salary of approximately R$ 2 million. Since his current contract expires in December 2026, he may be eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club for the 2027 season. Corinthians is currently monitoring his situation as a potential offensive reinforcement, though formal negotiations have not yet begun.
