Willian is set to sign with Grêmio, marking his third spell in Brazil. The 37-year-old arrives as a free agent following his departure from Fulham earlier this summer.
The winger is expected to travel to Brazil to complete a medical before finalizing the move. Once the formalities are complete, he will officially become a Grêmio player.
Grêmio had been looking for an experienced addition to their squad, as the team is battling to move up the Serie A table. Willian was identified as the right fit due to his leadership and creativity on the pitch.
Over his long career, Willian has played for top clubs including Shakhtar Donetsk, Chelsea, Arsenal, Fulham, and Olympiacos. At Fulham, he made nearly 80 appearances across two seasons, contributing goals and assists in the Premier League.
This transfer represents a homecoming for Willian. He began his career in Brazil with Corinthians before moving to Europe in 2007. Returning now to Grêmio, he brings with him a wealth of international experience and success.
Grêmio hope that his arrival will provide a boost to their attack and help stabilize their season. The club has made several signings this year, but results have been inconsistent. The addition of a veteran like Willian could bring much-needed balance and confidence to the squad.
Interestingly, Willian had previously suggested that he would not return to Brazilian football after leaving in the past. However, circumstances have changed, and this move offers both the player and Grêmio a fresh start.
The Brazilian side now look forward to integrating him into their system as they push to climb the league standings. Fans will be eager to see how Willian adapts once again to football in his home country.
