Antonio Dutra Jr. said Gabriel Mec, a 17-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper who has a contract with Grêmio until the end of 2027, has been scouted by major international football clubs. Antonio Dutra Jr. stated that Gabriel is one of those young players who always attracts interest and that he was with the Brazilian national team. He added that they are not currently in a position to say no, as it depends on the context and the operation, but that the player is in full development, ambidextrous, in the main squad, and focused. He also said that they are analyzing calmly and that there have been offers, but the club did not sell. He mentioned there was a situation involving the war, and the family did not want him to leave. He stated that if an offer arrives, they will evaluate it. The Brazil U17 international has made 2 appearances in the CBF Brasileiro U20 league during the 2025/2026 season. Several European clubs, including Sporting CP, Benfica, Liverpool, and Shakhtar Donetsk, have been linked with the player.
