Gremio will try to persuade Gabriel Mec to sign a new contract. The club believes that a significant salary increase will allow them to retain Mec.

Grêmio is close to agreeing a contract renewal with their 17-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel Mec, extending his contract until September 2031. The current contract runs until September 2027. The information was reported by Zero Hora and confirmed by ESPN. The Brazil U17 international has attracted interest from several European clubs, including PSV, Sporting CP, and Chelsea. It was reported that in May 2026, Grêmio's asking price was between €15-21 million and that Shakhtar Donetsk offered €15 million that same month.
