Kléber, has been involved in a well-documented rift with Palmeiras’ Vice-President and also Manager, Luis Felipe Scolari since speaking out at the club for their response to an attack on team mate João Vitor by fans earlier this month.
Corinthians and Flamengo are both rumoured destinations for the player, who is regarded as one of the top domestically based Brazilian strikers, despite his trouble-making reputation.
Grêmio are now working on terms for the player and their approach is believed to have been received favourably by the striker. Now they must ensure they beat off competition to his signature to solve their striking issues of 2011.
