Chelsea showed interest in Santos' Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão, 25, during the summer. The player, who joined the Brazilian club last year after an unsuccessful spell at Inter, has since attracted attention from top European clubs due to his impressive performances. According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport DE, Bayern Munich is now also a suitor for Brazão. Additionally, former goalkeeper Júlio César has endorsed a move to Bayern for Brazão, suggesting him as a long-term successor to Manuel Neuer, whose contract expires next summer. Brazão's contract with Santos runs until the end of 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €8 million.
