Hull City, a newcomer to the English Premier League, has become the first club to make a specific offer for 18-year-old Gremio attacking midfielder Gabriel Mec. The club has offered a €25 million package, which consists of a €17 million immediate payment, €3 million in bonuses, and a potential of up to €5 million for Gremio from a future resale. Gremio had previously indicated they would not sell Mec for less than €20-25 million, and Hull City is the first club to approach the Brazilian club's valuation. This has positioned the English side as the leading contender to sign the player, who has also attracted serious interest from Shakhtar. The Ukrainian club has reportedly been interested in Mec since last August but has not been able to reach an agreement with Gremio.
