Palmeiras consider move for Gremio winger Francis Amuzu

Ghanaian-Belgian winger Francis Amuzu is the subject of a transfer rumour linking him with a move from Brazilian club Gremio to Palmeiras.

The 27-year-old plays on the left wing and has been a regular contributor for Gremio in the 2026 Brazilian Serie A campaign, making 29 appearances, scoring twice and providing four assists. He has also featured in the Copa do Brasil and Copa Sudamericana this season.

Amuzu joined Gremio from Belgian club Anderlecht in February 2025 in a transfer worth €1.2m. He had spent his senior career at Anderlecht after progressing through the club’s youth system, before moving to Brazil.

The player’s current market value is listed at €8m, while his contract with Gremio is due to expire on 31 December 2026. Palmeiras and Gremio are both competing in Brazil’s Serie A, adding a domestic dimension to the reported interest.

Amuzu has started 68% of Gremio’s league matches this season and has also recorded two goals and two assists in eight Copa do Brasil appearances. He helped Gremio win the Campeonato Gaucho in the 2025-26 season.

The rumour comes as Amuzu enters the final weeks of his current contract, with the winger remaining a Gremio player while speculation links him with Palmeiras.
