Negotiations between Mexican club América and Grêmio striker Carlos Vinícius have concluded without an agreement. Initial reports indicated that América presented a six million dollar offer for the 31-year-old forward, but the proposal was rejected.

While the transfer to América failed, Vinícius’s future at Grêmio remains uncertain. Because the player did not meet specific performance criteria for an automatic contract extension, he is legally permitted to negotiate pre-contracts with other teams. This has drawn interest from clubs in the MLS, the Mexican league, and Brazil’s Serie A. Grêmio is currently attempting to negotiate a two-season extension to prevent losing the striker without compensation.
