Peñarol consider permanent move for Grêmio forward

Peñarol consider permanent move for Grêmio forward Peñarol is considering activating the purchase clause for striker Matías Arezo, who belongs to Grêmio and is on loan to the Uruguayan team. According to ge, the deal will go through an internal vote at the Montevideo club, and the expectation is that the acquisition will be approved. Details of the Possible Purchase, according to ge Clause deadline: Although the loan contract runs until December 31, 2026, the fixed purchase option expires on June 30. This forces Peñarol to speed up its decision. Set amount: The permanent transfer will cost US$4 million (around R$20.8 million at the current exchange rate). Procedure: The Uruguayan club has not yet made official contact with Grêmio, but since the purchase option is already established in the loan contract, internal approval and payment are enough to complete the deal. Economic Rights Grêmio owns 50% of the economic rights to the 23-year-old player, acquired in July 2024 from Granada (Spain) for 3 million euros. The other half belongs to River Plate (Uruguay), which also has outstanding financial claims against the club from Rio Grande do Sul. Performance: Peñarol x Grêmio Good run in Uruguay: In the current season, Arezo has made 23 appearances and scored nine goals for Peñarol, including two in the Copa Libertadores (although the team was eliminated after finishing bottom of its group). Lack of space in the South: Arezo never managed to establish himself in a Grêmio shirt. In 2024, he played 12 matches and did not score. In 2025, he featured more often (25 matches, six goals), but the lack of continuity led him to say in May of that year that he wanted to return to his home country. Grêmio granted the request and loaned him to Peñarol in July last year, renewing the deal in December. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
