Lucas Uebel/Getty Images Newcastle United and Liverpool are tracking Brazilian defender Wallace, who has ‘exceeded expectations’ at Gremio to become a guaranteed starter. Gremio subsequently secured Wallace’s services during the summer window, handing the defender a five-year contract.

According to German outlet Fussball Europa, Liverpool and Newcastle are showing interest in Wallace, who it is claimed has ‘exceeded expectations’ at Gremio. Season Position 2025–26 12th 2024–25 5th 2023–24 7th 2022–23 4th 2021–22 11th Newcastle United’s last five league finishes Having only joined Gremio during the summer and possessing considerable long-term potential, Wallace is not a player they are eager to part with, while the club’s ownership of just 50 per cent of his rights provides another complication.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Newcastle will step up their interest, although they could see Wallace’s valuation climb alongside a growing list of suitors if he maintains his current upward trajectory. The Brazilian Football Confederation are also ‘closely monitoring’ Wallace’s development, with the defender potentially in line for a senior national team call-up, underlining his rapid growth.
