Mandaca Transfer: Juventude Management Denies Receiving Grêmio Offer

Juventude management has not received any official offer from Grêmio for Mandaca, according to vice-president of football, Luis Carlos Bianchi. The Gaúcho club's direction denies any consultation and states that they will not release the player without immediate payment.

What happened?

The transfer window opens on June 20, but movements are starting to intensify. Juventude's main asset is Mandaca, who has a contract until the end of the year.

Why is it important for Juventude?

The club's management tried to extend Mandaca's contract, but no agreement was reached between the parties. Now, Grêmio emerges as one of the interested parties in the number 44 shirt.

What comes next?

Juventude has 40% of the player's rights and is seriously thinking about promotion. Mandaca arrived at the club in 2023, on loan from Corinthians, and at the end of the season signed a contract until the end of 2026.

Juventude is currently in 19th place in the Serie A, with 35 points in 38 games, and recently beat Sao Paulo 3-1. The next match will be against Fortaleza EC, at home, on 2026-08-15.
