Gabriel Mec’s transfer to FC Porto will allow Grémio to settle a debt related to the signing of Pepê from the Dragons in 2021. The Brazilian club still owed money to agent Giuliano Bertolucci for brokering the deal.
According to ESPN, Grémio acknowledged the debt in court, and it was agreed that part of the fee from Gabriel Mec’s sale to FC Porto would be used exclusively for that payment. The player’s transfer earned the Brazilian club eleven million euros.
The amount owed, 3.2 million euros, will be paid in two installments, according to the same publication.
Gabriel Mec was officially announced as an FC Porto signing on September 2. The 18-year-old Brazilian winger had been playing for Grémio and signed a contract valid for five seasons, with a release clause set at 80 million euros, according to Portal dos Dragões.
The deal involved a payment of 11 million euros, a fee that could “rise” to 12 million if sporting objectives are met. The Brazilian club also retained 12% of the capital gain from any future transfer and will be responsible for the solidarity mechanism owed to third parties.
