Grêmio want the player to arrive before January, but Juventude will only release him early if they receive financial compensation.

Mandaca has been at Juventude since 2023, initially joining on loan from Corinthians, the club where he came through.

He signed permanently in 2024 with the Caxias do Sul side and has made 143 appearances, scoring 15 goals with 10 assists in that period.
