Tiago Gabriel Transfer from Lecce to Juventus
According to Tuttomercato, Juventus is interested in Tiago Gabriel and the requested price is 40 million euros. The player is considered the leader of Lecce's defense, particularly with Kialonda Gaspar away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Corriere dello Sport reports that Juventus have already sent scouts to monitor Tiago Gabriel closely.
Saverio Sticchi Damiani commented on rumors about Juventus' interest in Lecce defender Tiago Gabriel. He stated it is premature to talk about Juventus but added that the player has attracted the interest of many.
Pete O’Rourke told Football Insider that reports in Italy are suggesting that Juventus are the current leading contender for Tiago Gabriel.
Filipe Martins, a former coach of Tiago Gabriel at Estrela Amadora, commented on the player's links to Juventus. Martins stated that Juventus could make it easier for Tiago Gabriel to become a starter. He added that the player would certainly emerge at either club and is prepared.
Pantaleo Corvino stated that Tiago Gabriel is liked by many clubs, not only by Juventus. Corvino added that for this year Tiago Gabriel will remain at Lecce because his presence is important to reach the club's objectives. According to Tuttomercato, the club's goal is not to sell Tiago Gabriel in the next transfer window. The club values Tiago Gabriel at 25 million euros, and if an offer for that amount or more arrives in January, it would be very difficult to refuse to sell him.
Tiago Gabriel has attracted the attention of several clubs, and Juventus has been specifically mentioned. Pantaleo Corvino stated to Tuttosport that the player is liked by many, not just Juve. Corvino said the boy is strong and that they have been patient and lucky. He also stated that for this year the player stays where he is, because he is too important for them to achieve their goal and they must maintain their focus on him.
Pantaleo Corvino, director of football at Lecce, stated in an interview with Tuttosport that Tiago Gabriel, a Portuguese defender born in 2004, is being monitored by Juventus.
According to Tuttosport.it, Juventus has made initial contact with Lecce defender Tiago Gabriel, who has drawn interest from several major Italian clubs due to his performances. The report from Tuttosport.it states that the Portuguese player, born in 2004, is a priority target for Juventus in the upcoming transfer windows. Competition also exists from several Premier League teams, and Brentford is reportedly prepared to make an offer of approximately twenty million euros. This sum could create difficulties for the plans of interested Serie A clubs. To address this, Juventus is considering the inclusion of a player in the transaction. Tuttosport.it reports that one tangible option is the loan of Vasilije Adzic, who is a young talent that Lecce has previously monitored. This arrangement could ease the negotiation and persuade the Salento club to favor the proposal from Juventus.
Juventus has initiated first contacts with Tiago Gabriel. According to Tuttosport.it, the Portuguese defender born in 2004 has become a priority target for the club for the upcoming transfer windows.

According to Tuttomercato, Juventus is interested in Lecce's Tiago Gabriel. The club is monitoring the player, who was born in 2004, and scouted him live two weeks ago. Juventus is prioritizing strengthening their defense in the January transfer window because of injuries to Bremer and Cabal.
Tuttosport reports that Lecce's 20-year-old Portuguese centre-back Tiago Gabriel is on Juventus' list as they consider reinforcements. A Juventus scout was reportedly sent to observe him in person a couple of weeks ago during the Fiorentina-Lecce match. A transfer would be a significant capital gain for Lecce, who paid one and a half million for the player after he was identified by Pantaleo Corvino. The newspaper cites a valuation of 25-30 million euros. Juventus is monitoring him but faces competition from Inter, who are also observing the player, and potentially from English clubs that could make significant offers in the winter. He would be considered for the role of vice-Bremer in Luciano Spalletti's defence at Juventus. Gabriel joined Lecce in January 2025, has a contract until June 2027, and has made 11 appearances in Serie A this season, scoring one goal. He has also been capped three times for the Portugal U21 team.
