Sunderland considers signing Brazilian defender Viery from Grêmio this summer

Viery Fernandes, a 21-year-old defender from Grêmio, is being evaluated for a potential move to Sunderland. The left-footed centre back has showed promise during the 2026 Brasileirão season, accumulating significant clearances, although his duels won statistics suggest room for improvement. With a pass completion rate of 85.0%, he could enhance Sunderland’s backline as they prepare for a busy Europa League campaign. His development at Grêmio under experienced coaching could further prepare him for European competition.
