Fiorentina were reported to be keen on exchanging Pedro for Kannemann, given the Brazilian’s struggles to adapt to Italian football and their own frailties at the back.

However, Gremio President Romildo Bolzan told Correio do Povo: “Kannemann is a cornerstone of the team and won’t be leaving.

“Instead, we can try to take Pedro. What’s certain is that we can’t weaken our defence and strengthen out attack.

“Ideally, we want to keep Kannemann and, if possible, add Pedro.”
