Liverpool will reportedly look to sign 17-year-old Brazilian attacking sensation Gabriel Mec from Gremio in a deal worth €15 million, with the offer coming this week.
According to an update by Brazilian journalist Fabio Vargas, Gabriel Mec is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a young and promising attacker next year. So, the 17-year-old Gremio wonderkid has emerged as a target for the Merseyside outfit.
The Premier League champions are ready to submit an official bid to sign the South American attacking sensation, with the offer coming this week. Liverpool’s proposal will be worth €15 million, and Gremio will aim to extract more value from the English giants before being ready to sell him.
Who is Gabriel Mec?
Gabriel Mec is the latest promising prodigy to rise in prominence in his homeland. A native of Rio de Janeiro, the 17-year-old wonderkid has been with Gremio since 2019, making considerable progress in age-group football while progressing through the ranks in the last half a dozen years.
The Brazilian prodigy has already broken into the first-team squad at Gremio, making two appearances for the senior side. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several European bigwigs. Widespread reports have linked the teenage prospect with Premier League giants, including Chelsea. However, Liverpool will aim to win the battle for his signature.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Liverpool’s interest in Gabriel Mec is understandable. The Reds are scouring the market for a promising and versatile attacker heading into the next two transfer windows, as Mohamed Salah faces an uncertain future at Anfield. The veteran Egyptian attacker will likely leave Liverpool next summer, compelling the Merseyside club to dip into the market for a replacement.
Several candidates have thus emerged on Liverpool’s radar, with the Gremio wonderkid also emerging as a viable target. While the teenage prospect is primarily an attacking midfielder, he can also play on the flanks equally adeptly. The Premier League champions are ready to seal a deal this week by submitting a bid worth €15 million.
While Gremio will not be averse to Gabriel Mec’s departure, they want to extract more value from his sale. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 17-year-old Brazilian attacking sensation.
