Grêmio has been engaged in various contract negotiations and legal matters involving player transfers.

In early September, the club entered discussions to extend striker Carlos Vinícius’s contract from its current December 2026 expiration to the end of 2028. Vinícius, who had attracted interest from MLS and Mexican league clubs, confirmed that “we are in talks, period.”

By late September, the club faced a legal dispute filed by Cruzeiro with the National Dispute Resolution Chamber (CNRD) regarding unpaid debts for the acquisition of left-back Marlon. Cruzeiro alleges that Grêmio failed to adhere to a payment schedule for the 3.5 million USD transfer. Simultaneously, Grêmio secured the long-term future of 18-year-old attacker Vini Ferraz, renewing his contract until December 2029 with a 40 million euro release clause.
