Sporting Lisbon’s Emiliano Insúa has taken to Twitter to deny that he is set to move to the Brasileirão with Grêmio.
Talks have stalled between the two clubs over financial issues with Sporting claiming that they are due a fee of €1m for the player.
Insúa took to Twitter to announce that he is staying at Sporting and Grêmio president Fabio Koff has confirmed that he has ordered negotiations to be called off.
“Grêmio has given up on Insúa. I gave orders to my representatives in Portugal not to continue negotiating with the player.”
Buen dia a todos! Solo quiero agradecer el cariño recibido estos dias de muchos comentarios y aclarar q sigo siendo jugador de SPORTING CP!
