According to reports, both Benfica – which lost the race for Kauã Prates – and Sporting are interested in signing the player, who has been shining in the colors of Grêmio. However, the two Lisbon clubs are not alone in this race.

According to information provided by Portal do Gremista, a page that follows the latest news from the Brazilian club, Benfica and Sporting are the most recent clubs to show interest in the young prospect, who has been excelling in the team coached by the Portuguese Luís Castro.

The same source adds that Gabriel Mec’s agents have already met with Benfica representatives to start a possible negotiation process. However, despite Benfica’s advances, the publication also states that Sporting has a meeting scheduled for this Tuesday, February 24, to understand the player’s conditions.

Portal do Gremista also explains that Benfica and Sporting are not the only ones interested in Gabriel Mec. The same source reports that, in addition to the Eagles and the Lions, there are other clubs keeping an eye on the young Brazilian’s development, including Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool.

Finally, the publication points out that Grêmio has not yet taken a concrete position regarding the future of Gabriel Mec.
