Brazilian attacking talent on the radar – BVB tracking Luca Meirelles | OneFootball

In the next two months, Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva will certainly continue to hunt for goals for Borussia Dortmund. However, what will happen with the two strikers in the summer remains open amid many circulating speculations. It is quite possible that at least one of the two center-forwards will leave the club, and then BVB will have a need in the central attack. Borussia seems to be keeping an eye on the market in this regard.

After Louey Ben Farhat from Karlsruher SC and the Mexican national striker Armando González from Deportivo Guadalajara have already been linked with BVB in recent weeks, transfer journalist Ekrem Konur mentions another candidate on fussballdaten.de that Dortmund is said to have on their radar.

According to the insider, Luca Meirelles has caught the attention of BVB scouts. The 18-year-old Brazilian, who transferred from FC Santos to Shakhtar Donetsk for twelve million euros last summer, has particularly impressed observers from Dortmund with his quality in tight spaces – although RB Leipzig has also taken notice.

Transfer fee at 25 million euros?

Meirelles, who has scored eight goals and assisted another in 20 competitive matches for Donetsk, can play as a center-forward, on the left wing, or in a withdrawn role and is considered a player who will eventually end up in one of Europe's top leagues.

In Donetsk, they are aware that they probably won't be able to keep the striking jewel for long despite a contract running until 2030, but they want to at least benefit economically. The Ukrainians are reportedly open to discussions, but with a demand in the range of 25 million euros.

While Leipzig is likely aiming for an immediate fixed transfer, BVB is reportedly considering a model with a loan including a purchase option.
