At the request of coach Renato Portaluppi, Grêmio starts talks for the renewal of Diego Souza’s contract. The striker was one of the highlights of Tricolor Gaúcho in winning access to Série A. However, the club’s management placed some conditions for the extension of the bond with the top scorer.
Special conditions for the renewal of Diego Souza with Grêmio
The first step taken by the directors is that the new contract will have an initial duration of only six months. Therefore, if the attacker performs well, he will have the chance to renew for another period. Secondly, the attacker had to accept a reduction in his salary, which was R$300,000.
According to journalist João Batista Filho, in 2020, the striker renewed with a salary of R$600 thousand. Therefore, with the team’s fall to the second division the following year, the athlete had his monthly salaries cut in half. Now, another reduction, but the values have not yet been disclosed.
