Since the Luis Campos-Luis Enrique duo took control of the Paris Saint-Germain transfer window, the capital club is increasingly trying to gamble on youth. Sometimes by looking for known profiles like João Neves, sometimes by betting on unknown players like Lucas Beraldo or Gabriel Moscardo. Success is not always achieved, but the project remains intact. And obviously, the Brazilian sector will always be exploited.
Recently, the name of the young 16-year-old attacking midfielder from Palmeiras, Eduardo Conceição, was associated with the Rouge-et-Bleu, as was the nugget of Grêmio, Gabriel Mec. Aged 18, this player capable of playing as an attacker and attacking midfielder is estimated at €20 million by the team based in Porto Alegre. However, ESPN Brazil tells us that PSG is far from being alone in this matter and that another Ligue 1 club would like to overtake it.
Lille contacted Mec
The Brazilian media assures that Villarreal, Sevilla and Newcastle are on the spot, but that LOSC has taken the lead. ESPN even assures that a meeting was held last Thursday between Gabriel Mec, his representatives and Lille. The Mastiffs were able to present their sporting project (with the Champions League in particular). A project considered positive by the Mec clan. And that’s not all, because an amount was also mentioned.
After convincing the player, LOSC now wants to negotiate with Grêmio and is preparing to send an offer of €10 million to recruit a player whose contract runs until 2031. The Northerners want to move quickly to crush the competition, but their Brazilian counterparts are in no hurry. Gabriel Mec still has five years of contract and Ronaldinho’s former club is not giving up. If a sale is to be made, it will not be for less than €15-20 million. LOSC has been notified.
