Fiorentina has nearly completed the signing of 21-year-old Brazilian defender Viery from Grêmio after making an offer of 17 million euros. The club faced competition for the player from fellow Italian sides Inter and Juventus, as well as from foreign clubs Brighton, Benfica, and Newcastle.
Viery joined Grêmio in February 2025 and has a contract until the end of 2029. In the 2025/2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A season, he has made 13 appearances and scored one goal. His current market value is €6.00m, according to Transfermarkt. It has been reported since April 2026 that Grêmio's asking price for the player was in the range of €15 million to €20 million. It was also reported that a €50 million release clause for foreign clubs has been active since at least March 2026.
