The Brazilian attacking striker Gabriel Mek is considered one of the greatest talents of his generation, so it is not surprising that among the European clubs, Shakhtar Donetsk itself was one of the first to stick with him.
“Girniki” spent a troubling hour carefully working on the transfer of the 18-river Vikonavian Gremiu, but in the situation, when the club was ready to sell the footballer, and having given it time for the transfer, additional circumstances appeared.
The sharpness of Meka inspired him to move to Ukraine, as he suffered under the influence of a terrorist power, and this decision became the key to this transfer story.
If there was a proposal from the Portuguese Porto, even less for Shakhtar’s option, at 11 million euros, the transfer was closed without any requests.
Contract signed until 2031.
In this season of Brazilian football, Mek scored three goals and gave two assists in 32 matches (1453 goals).
