The Brazilian media GZH reported that with Exxon about to sign the Gremio team in the Brazilian B Division, the old-fashioned powerhouse Gremio will once again use up five foreign aid quotas.
According to the regulations of the Brazilian Football Federation, each team in the Brazilian league can have up to 5 foreign players from non-Brazilian countries. Although Exxon was born in the Brazilian state of Bahia, the Brazilian became a Chinese citizen in 2019 to play for the Chinese team. In this way, since he has given up his Brazilian passport, after joining Gremio, Exxon will occupy a foreign aid spot in the team.
In addition to Exxon, Gremio currently has four other non-Brazilian players: Paraguay’s Villasanti, Colombia’s Campaz, Argentina’s Canneman and Benitez. From the current situation, Gremio’s management has ruled out the possibility of continuing to introduce non-Brazilian players.
In the rules of the Brazilian league, only five non-Brazilian athletes are allowed to play in each game. Therefore, if Gremio Club introduces a sixth foreign aid, it will not be able to let all foreign players play at the same time. According to Gremio, Elkeson, who was renamed “Exxon” in China, is still looking forward to the possibility of playing for the Chinese team in anticipation of the 2026 World Cup cycle.
Previously, in the internal evaluation of Gremio Club, Exxon was considered to have a good sense of forward movement and excellent physical condition. Although he has not participated in the competition for a long time, the coaching staff intends to tailor his recovery after signing the contract. plan. Exxon will arrive in Porto Alegre this week, undergo a medical examination by Gremio club and complete the contract, which will end at the end of this year.
