Sporting has Tiago Gabriel well noted, but the operation promises to be anything but simple. The young central defender, who plays for Lecce in Serie A, has been attracting the attention of several European clubs due to his impressive performances in the Italian league.

As our newspaper previously reported, Exclusively (Learn more HERE), the lions have been following the player for several months and appreciate his physical profile, competitive maturity, and potential for development. The green and white management sees the Portuguese under-21 international as a valid option.

However, the Alvalade Club faces strong competition. According to 'Footmercato', Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also keeping an eye on the defender's progress, with Hansi Flick himself considering the athlete as a future solution for the defensive sector in the case of the Catalans.

In the current sports season, Tiago Gabriel - valued at 15 million euros - has played 19 official matches for Lecce: 17 in Serie A and two in the Italian Cup. In the 1,631 minutes he was on the pitch, the player scored one goal.
