Vieri has become one of the breakout defenders of Brazilian football this season. After starting the year on the outside of the club's strongest defensive schemes, he has turned into an undisputed starter under Luis Castro.
His profile is particularly attractive to European clubs. Vieri is left-footed, dynamic, defensively aggressive and comfortable in possession – qualities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find together in young centre-backs.

He joins Newcastle, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Roma, Juventus and Fiorentina as the clubs credited with monitoring the player.
Scouts from England and Italy have recently attended Grêmio matches to watch Vieri in action. Furthermore, in some cases interest has already moved beyond observation.

The Magpies were among the first clubs linked with Vieri and have reportedly turned their interest into a formal offer.
However, the entry of Tottenham and Sunderland increases the Premier League competition at a time when Grêmio are confident their desired fee will finally arrive.
