According to Mario Krischel reports that the 47-times-capped Ecuadorian international is negotiating with another club. In all likelihood, Gruezo won't be continuing with Augsburg for the second half of the season. Which club this may be remains a mystery. Gruezo's odd career took him from Barça's Ecuadorian farm program to VfB Stuttgart, then over to America's MLS before his return to Germany in 2019.
Gruezo maintains an estimated market worth of €4 million in the latest transfermarkt listings. The FCA paid €1.5 million to procure him from FC Dallas in the summer of 2019.
