The Chelsea has joined the race among the big clubs in Europe to seize the services of Gabriel Menino in the upcoming summer transfer market. A move that could change the dynamics of the market very easily.
The Palmeiras, club that owns the card of the talented Brazilian, is eager to get a good amount of money for his young promise because they want to build a stellar team to repeat the title of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores and win the Brasileirao.
Chelsea take advantage in the race
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea is the main candidate to take over the services of the player who in Brazil has been compared to Yaya Toure despite playing in different positions.
The Blue team is positioned ahead of Tottenham, Atlético de Madrid and Juventus de Turin in the race to seize the signing of Gabriel Menino, who is destined to be the next big sale of Brazilian football.
Menino has a termination clause of 43 million euros in his contract with Palmeiras, but the pandemic has lowered his price and the Brazilian team would let him out for a little more than 15 million euros.
The young Brazilian was a fundamental part of Palmeiras last season, appearing in 27 Brasileirao matches between August last year and February, and 54 appearances in all competitions.
However, his most important contribution was scoring one of the four goals of the campaign in this month’s 2-0 win against Gremio de Porto Alegre in the final of the Copa do Brasil, in which the club won the cup. for the fourth time in its history.
He is a versatile player who can also play as a right back, which is why he has drawn the attention of several top teams due to this record.
