Grêmio to Start Erick Noriega Against Botafogo as FIFA Posts Three-Season Transfer Ban

FIFA lists a three-season signing ban for Grêmio after a River Plate (Uruguay) complaint over unpaid Matías Arezo loan fees.

Overview

  • Globo Esporte, cited by Libero.pe, reports Mano Menezes has selected Erick Noriega to start against Botafogo.
  • The call comes despite Noriega’s long return trip from Russia and limited training time with the squad.
  • Noriega’s recent Peru appearances drew criticism following a comeback win by Chile and a draw with Russia.
  • FIFA’s platform shows Grêmio barred from signing players for three seasons due to the Arezo loan dispute with River Plate (Uruguay).
  • The restriction increases reliance on internal options, with Noriega mentioned as a candidate to come in for Gustavo Martins in defense.
