River Plate of Uruguay plans to send a formal notice to Grêmio demanding a payment of $100,000 regarding striker Matías Arezo. The debt, stemming from a loan agreement with Peñarol, has already been overdue for about 30 days. If unpaid, River Plate may escalate the matter to FIFA, potentially leading to a transfer ban for Grêmio, preventing the club from signing new players. Despite this risk, Grêmio remains optimistic it can resolve the issue prior to any sanctions.
