Shakhtar has expressed an interest in Brazilian forward Luca Meirelles, making an offer of 12 million euros to Santos for the transfer of the 18-year-old. Additionally, they have committed to providing 15% of the profit from any future resale. Santos is presently assessing the possibility of selling their homegrown player, as the club's challenging financial situation could make the deal more likely. Meirelles has participated in 17 official matches for the first team, contributing one assist. In the previous year, he emerged as the top scorer in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship with 14 goals and also netted six goals in the state championship. His contract with Santos is valid until August 31, 2027, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.50 million.
