Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on June 26, 2026 that Fiorentina reached terms with Grêmio for 21‑year‑old Viery on a package that includes a €15 million fixed fee and performance‑related add‑ons.
- Brazilian reporting cited by international outlets says the agreement includes about €2 million in bonuses, Grêmio will retain 100% of the fee, and the club negotiated a sell‑on percentage.
- Yahoo Sports and others report Fiorentina plans a long‑term deal, described as a five‑year contract, although that length is reported rather than officially confirmed by the clubs.
- Viery is described as a quick, ball‑playing centre‑back who can step high or cover behind the line but shows relative weakness in aerial duels and an eagerness in tackles that can risk bookings.
- The signing addresses Fiorentina’s urgent defensive need after conceding 50 goals last season, gives manager Fabio Grosso a South American recruit under sporting director Fabio Paratici, and provides Grêmio with a key transfer income boost.
