Season overview
Pre-season
At the end of the 2014 Grêmio F.B.P.A. season, without qualify for the 2015 Copa Libertadores de América, the new board of directors of the Grêmio, with the president Romildo Bolzan Jr., decided to reduce the monthly payroll of the club from €2.2 million to €1.5 million.[1] For the season, with the reduction of the monthly payroll, the Grêmio decided to invest in its academy, using in their pre-season more than 10 players of youth squads.[2] With it, the Grêmio did not exercise the option of purchase of two players who were with loans to a close, and Alan Ruiz and Dudu returned to their respective clubs.[3][4] Also, the contract of Zé Roberto was not renewed, leaving him free to sign with another club, which ended up being Palmeiras.[5] Pará also left the club on season-long loan, moving to Flamengo as payment of a debt that the Grêmio had with the Carioca club since 2000 because of a Rodrigo Mendes transfer.[6]
With the end of the 2014 season, the Grêmio received as a loan return almost 20 players, seeing that the vast majority began to train separately from the First team squad waiting for a new loans.[7] The young goalkeeper Jakson Follmann was loaned to Linense to gain experience in a half-season deal.[8] Rodrigo Sabiá, which is not part of the club's plans, was again loaned, this time to Paulista also in a half-season contract.[9] The midfielder Guilherme Biteco goes definitively to 1899 Hoffenheim after having been selling to the club in October 2012, but followed at Grêmio on loan until then.[10]
On 17 December, the Grêmio announced its largest purchase for the season, the playmaker Douglas, acquiring in a free transfer from Corinthians, signing a contract until the end of the season.[11] Also on the 17th was announced the departure of Mateus Magro to Aparecidense, who was with his contract with Grêmio ending.[12] Two days later, announced the signing of polyvalent player Marcelo Oliveira, signed from 2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A champions Cruzeiro, also in the free transfer deal, signing a contract until December 2016.[13]
As well as Follmann, the club also loaned Bressan to Flamengo, however, in a season-long deal.[14] The club also renewed the contract of Cristian Riveros, which would end in mid-2015, but did not reveal the new term.[15] It was also announced that Saimon, Léo Gago and Marco Antônio will not have their contracts renewed, thus being free to sign with another club.[16][17][18] Also did not have his contract renewed the goalkeeper Gustavo Busatto, who went to América-RN.[19] Already Bergson, who had returned from loan, confirmed a new loan deal, this time to a K League club side, which yet has not been disclosed.[20]
On Christmas Eve, the club announced its latest deal in 2014, revealing the purchase of Pedro Geromel for an undisclosed amount from FC Köln until December 2017. Until then, he was on loan until the mid of 2016, which may leave the club if a purchase proposal was offered to the German club by another team.[21] On the same day, the executive of football Rui Costa confirmed that the Grêmio has no more interest in Edinho and he did not participate in the 2015 season.[22]
On the first working day of 2015, were announced two loans until the end of the season. Tony confirmed his departure to Bahia and Douglas Grolli will pass another season playing at the Chapecoense.[23][24][25] On 5 January, another season-long loan deal was announced, this time with the forward Fernandinho going to Serie A club Hellas Verona.[26] On the same day, it was also announced the half-season loan of Maxi Rodríguez to Universidad de Chile, to compete in the Copa Libertadores de América.[27] On day 6, it was announced that Bergson was loaned to Busan IPark.[28]
