According to various sources, Chelsea are weighing up a move for Gremio wonderkid Gabriel Mec. Currently, he plays for Gremio U20 team. This could be a massive signing for Chelsea because the wonderkid has a massive potential.
Neymer Junior has also appreciated the young player. There is no doubt that he is destined for greatness. Gabriel Mec is an example of Brazil’s new generation. Clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Barcelona are scouting these types of talents from Brazil and bringing them into the limelight of world football.
According to Football London, Chelsea are in talks with Gremio to complete the transfer of Gabriel Mec. It is being said that the Brazilian will cost them more than £17m.
Who is Gabriel Mec?
Gabriel Mec is a 16-year-old footballer who played for a Brazilian club called Gremio. At the age of 16, he was tearing up the Brazilian league. Clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid have scouts in all over the world. Scouts noticed the raw talent of Gabriel Mec and informed Chelsea about him.
We all know that South American players are known for their cheeky moves and showboating. Gabriel Mec is not an exception to this fact. He loves to dribble. According to multiple reports, he is being likened to Neymer. Several pundits also appreciated his talent. Gabriel Mec has massive potential.
He will be a valuable addition to the squad. Chelsea need players who can score goals in every situation. Gabriel Mec is certainly one of them. Chelsea fans will love to see him play on the soil of Stamford Bridge. He is young, exciting, and clinical enough to traumatize any defensive line.
Stories behind the scenes
Gabriel Mec will be a future investment for Chelsea. After completion of the deal, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital can send the player on loan to Strasbourg FC. Once he performs well in the loan spell, he will get a chance to play for Chelsea.
At this moment, the Blues have signed a lot of young players. Some of them are not ready to face the intensity of the Premier League. Sometimes experienced players also struggle to perform well in the English Premier League. So, it is no surprise that the same thing will happen with the young players as well.
To avoid these types of incidents, the Blues send their young players on loan. During the loan spell, they get to experience a lot of new things, such as their playing style, the intensity of the game, and many more. We think that the same thing will happen with Gabriel. Previously, Blues Co. have done this to players like Andrey Santos, Angelo Gabriel, Ian Maatsen, David Datro Fofana.
The Blues are building a world-class attacking line which includes Cole Palmer, Cristopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling. If Chelsea can pull of the signing of Victor Oshimhen, it will solve the goal drought of Chelsea. On top of that, they are also signing talented youngsters like Gabriel Mec who can help the squad in uncountable ways.
Chelsea’s recent performance
Enzo Maresca has been Chelsea’s preseason manager as of late. They lost to Manchester City and the Scottish team Celtic, while they drew with Wrexham United. The Blues lacked a finisher who can convert all of their goal-scoring opportunities in those games. Gabriel Mec is incredibly talented. Thus, he may be the clinical finisher Chelsea has always desired.
Marc Guiu gave it his all to provide Chelsea with scoring opportunities, but it was insufficient to win both games. Gabriel Mec has the opportunity to excel for Chelsea at this ideal moment. He can at least showcase his abilities to Enzo Maresca. The Ivorian striker will guarantee a place in Chelsea’s starting lineup if he can win in this situation.
