Chelsea have reportedly scheduled a medical for Brazilian teenage sensation Gabriel Mec after striking an agreement to sign the player from Gremio.
The Blues are believed to be preparing to stump up £20.5million to secure the services of the 16-year-old but will have to wait until April 2026 to welcome him to Stamford Bridge due to his age.
According to Brazilian outlet Globo, Mec will undergo a medical in his homeland in the next few days, before putting pen-to-paper on a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
The teenager, who plays as an attacking midfielder, is yet to make a senior appearance for his current club but will be able to press his claims for a starting place in the months to come before making the move to England when he turns 18.
Chelsea have been prolific in the transfer market since Todd Boehly bought the club from Roman Abramovich in May 2022.
And they have already secured deals for eight players this summer, with seven of those moving to the capital straight away.
