Martin Braithwaite is reportedly threatening to terminate his contract with Gremio because the club allegedly owes him over eight million kroner in bonuses. Journalist Cesar Cidade Dias was the first to report the story, which has since been supported by the media outlet Globo. Braithwaite is said to have informed Gremio that he will terminate his contract if he does not receive his outstanding payment soon. Gremio is experiencing financial problems and was given a transfer ban by FIFA in November. According to Globo, the club's new CEO, Alex Leitao, has acknowledged that the club owes players wages and other debts and has promised to pay them by the end of the year.

Martin Braithwaite has extended his contract with Gremio until the end of 2027. He expressed his desire to continue giving his best on the field and helping the team achieve its goals. The vice president of Gremio, Alexandre Rossato, praised Braithwaite as a top-level player and a model professional, expressing satisfaction with the contract renewal.

Two major Brazilian clubs have shown interest in Martin Braithwaite and have contacted the player to gauge his willingness to leave Gremio. Braithwaite is currently waiting to see how the situation develops and what moves these clubs make.
