Gremio is preparing to consider offers for their 17-year-old player, Gabriel Mec, in the summer transfer window. The club's coach is playing him in the first team to increase his market value. Sporting is among several European clubs interested in the attacking midfielder, with Benfica, Liverpool, and Shakhtar also mentioned as interested parties. It was reported in March 2026 that Shakhtar's bid for Mec reached as high as €16 million. Gremio communicated that they would require a minimum of €20 million to sell the player. Mec will turn 18 on April 11, which will make him eligible for a move to Europe in the summer if an agreement is reached between all parties.
