Lille intensifies its efforts to reinforce the offensive sector with two of the main highlights of Brazilian football. The French club presented a proposal of more than 10 million euros for Ryan Roberto, from Flamengo, while monitoring Gabriel Mec, from Grêmio, as a strategic alternative. The European team seeks to get ahead of the market given the likely departure of striker Matías Fernández-Pardo in the coming months.
French Proposta by Ryan Roberto advances with red and black interest
Flamengo received an offer from Lille that pleased its management and surpassed the competition from Shakhtar Donetsk. The Rio club is interested in completing the sale in this transfer window, as it does not plan to renew the striker’s contract. Ryan Roberto’s current bond with Rubro-Negro is valid until 2027, offering room for negotiation.
Apesar of the agreement between the boards, the transfer faces significant bureaucratic obstacles. The conversations stalled due to internal disputes involving the player’s managers, preventing the final documentation from being sent to França. Lille awaits a resolution between the representatives to formalize the signing of the contract. The French club’s priority is to ensure the young man’s arrival before the start of the European pre-season.
Grêmio works to keep Gabriel Mec shielded from offers
Grêmio’s football department works cautiously to ensure the permanence of its main offensive promise. The strategy involves extending Gabriel Mec’s bond until 2031 and including higher termination clauses as protection against foreign investments. Caso the renewal agreement does not prosper, Imortal has already established the value of 20 million euros to negotiate the jewel.
The technical analysis of Lille points out that Gabriel Mec has rare dribbling characteristics and game vision that sparked immediate interest. The attacking midfielder’s performance in youth competitions caught the attention of French observers, placing the club ahead of other European competitors. Grêmio is aware of the need to save money, but prioritizes sporting gains in the short term, with the ideal scenario of keeping the young man until the end of 2026.
- Proposta of Lille by Ryan Roberto exceeds 10 million euros.
- Grêmio demands 20 million euros to release Gabriel Mec without renewal.
- Current Contrato of Ryan Roberto with Flamengo ends in 2027.
- Renovação intended by Grêmio to Mec extends the bond until 2031.
- Shakhtar Donetsk tried to negotiate the red-black attacker.
Grêmio’s intense Calendário impacts trading
Enquanto behind-the-scenes negotiations progress, the Grêmio squad focuses on the commitments of three simultaneous competitions. Grêmio faces Confiança away from home for Brasil’s Copa in the next challenge, followed by games against Bahia, Santos and Corinthians for Campeonato Brasileiro’s Série. The stability of the season depends on these results to reduce pressure on the group.
Na Copa Sul-American, the team from Rio Grande do Sul will have direct confrontations against Palestino and Montevideo City Torque, with matches played in Arena of Grêmio treated as fundamental for classification. The technical committee plans to use the break period after the continental games to integrate new reinforcements. The board’s promise is to deliver a more qualified squad for the second half of the year.
Entraves legal and European monitoring continues
Transfers of young players to Europa require specific legal care from FIFA, and in the case of Ryan Roberto, the dispute between agents prevents the sending of final documentation to França. Flamengo follows the case without directly interfering in the conflict between the businessmen, just waiting for the green light to receive the sale proceeds. Gabriel Mec lives a different situation, focused on development within the youth categories, with its staff evaluating the renewal proposals sent by Grêmio with attention to productivity bonuses. The European market continues to monitor every step of the Grêmio jewel until the official opening of the transfer window.
