Paris Saint-Germain is among several European clubs showing interest in Gabriel Mec, who is an 18-year-old attacking midfielder at Grêmio. Villarreal, Sevilla, Newcastle, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Porto are also reportedly monitoring the player. Grêmio is nearing an agreement to extend Mec's contract until September 2031. The club's motivation for this new deal is to prevent him from signing a pre-contract with another team from the upcoming January. Grêmio intends to evaluate each expected offer carefully during the next transfer window. The club previously rejected a 15 million euro offer from Shakhtar Donetsk last year, and this decision had the support of the player and his staff. Grêmio has an internal valuation of the midfielder between 15 and 20 million euros. Recent reports from 2026 have detailed a €16 million bid from Shakhtar in March. The same reports mentioned an asking price from Grêmio that reached up to €21 million in May.
