Chengue To Gremio

Nacional star and Uruguayan international Richard Morales was officially signed by Brazilian side Gremio. Morales arrived in Porto Alegre on Sunday to see the two-time Libertadortes champions defeat Vasco Da Gama 2-1. “Chengue” will play for Gremio during the second half of the year on a loan basis and will be a viable reinforcement for the Brasileirao leaders as they approach the final stretch.

He was looking for a way out of Nacional ever since he fell out of favor with the Tricolor brass after his actions in the last edition of the Uruguayan super derby when after being sent off, he threw his jersey into the stands where a group of Peñarol were standing.
