Viery sold to Fiorentina after rapid rise at Grêmio

Grêmio center-back Viery has been sold to Fiorentina in a transfer deal worth approximately R$100 million. Once considered surplus and with limited playtime, the 21-year-old established himself as a starter under new coach Luís Castro in 2026, putting together an impressive season. Following his emergence, Grêmio extended his contract before the transfer, securing a fixed fee of 15 million euros and performance bonuses. The sale fulfills Grêmio's budget target.
