According to sources in Brazil, Chelsea is moving forward with a deal for Gabriel Mec, a young Brazilian player for Gremio. Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has joined the Blues, who have been active during the transfer window, as of Tuesday. This week's matches against Club America and Manchester City are part of Enzo Maresca's preseason tour in the United States.
Whilst Chelsea are focused on improving the first team they are also looking at securing the best talents of tomorrow from around the world. The Blues have aggressively targeted the South American market under the Todd Boehly and Clearlake ownership, signing Kendry Paez, Estevao Willian, Deivid Washington, Angelo Gabriel and Andrey Santos, whilst Aaron Anselmino is very close to completing his move to Stamford Bridge. But 16-year-old Mec seems to be another star on the way, and sources from Brazil that Chelsea is putting together a €20 million deal for the offensive midfielder.
