Grêmio have received an official offer from Premier League side Aston Villa for 19-year-old striker Alysson Edward, sources told ESPN.
The clubs are still discussing terms, but the latest proposal is around £10.4 million ($14m).
Grêmio, in turn, have reportedly asked that half of this amount, at least £5.2m ($7m) be paid up front in cash, with the rest being paid in instalments.
According to sources, the parties are also discussing the possibility of the Grêmio holding a percentage of any future transfer of Alysson.
The striker's departure is seen as "essential" behind the scenes for 2026 financial planning, which suggests that the deal will be completed soon.
