According to Sky Sport, Bournemouth has a strong interest in Tiago Gabriel and has made contact to understand his situation prior to potentially making an offer in the coming weeks.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Bournemouth is interested in Tiago Gabriel. Tiago Gabriel currently plays for Lecce.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Lecce would require an offer between 30 and 40 million euros to sell Tiago Gabriel in January. Bournemouth has already shown concrete interest and will continue to monitor the situation before the summer. A bidding war could occur for the player in the summer.

Bournemouth's Sporting Director, Tiago Pinto, is looking to the Italian top flight to reinforce the English club's squad. One player the club has targeted is Lecce's Tiago Gabriel. The Portuguese central defender, a Portugal U21 international born in 2004, is a regular starter for the Salento-based team and has made 16 appearances and scored one goal in Serie A this season, attracting interest from various other clubs in Europe. He joined Lecce in January 2025 and his contract runs until 2027. Several other clubs, including West Ham United, Juventus and Inter, have also been linked with the player, whose Transfermarkt market value is €15.00m. In December 2025, Lecce's asking price was widely reported as €40 million, while reports in November 2025 cited a valuation between €25 million and €30 million.
