Newcastle United are interested in signing Gremio defender Viery during the summer transfer window and have already initiated a move to secure the deal. Newcastle recently sent a club representative to watch Viery play in person, according to Sports Boom. Newcastle have a serious intent to sign Viery, and he could cost around €20 million. Viery has a contract with Gremio until December 2029 and a €50 million release clause. Multiple clubs are interested in signing Viery, and Gremio will hope for a summer auction to maximize the transfer fee.

Representatives from Newcastle were present at Arena Grêmio on Sunday, March 1, to watch 21-year-old defender Viery. It has been reported that the 'Magpies' have been observing the player for years, and Botafogo made two unsuccessful bids for him earlier in the year. Viery renewed his contract in January, extending his deal until the end of 2029 with a release clause of around 50 million euros for foreign clubs.
