Lecce is monitoring Hearts' 17-year-old central midfielder Alfie Osborne for a potential future transfer. The club's director, Corvino, is also tracking the Scottish Under-19 international, who has 7 caps at that level. This season, Osborne has made 27 appearances and scored one goal in the Lowland League. Several English clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City, have also been linked with the player. It was reported in March 2026 that due to an expiring contract, Osborne could be available to English clubs for a training compensation fee of less than £250,000.
