Santos has been linked with a move to Italian side Lazio.
“I have a great desire to remain at Gremio,” declared Santos to Tuttomercatoweb.
“Although my agent [Gilmar Rinaldi] and I will be taking into consideration the offers that arrive, my overriding choice is to stay put in Brazil.
“There is still time until the close of the markets on August 30. If nothing happens I will happily continue my duties here at Gremio.”
