Serie A club Lecce has a history of cashing in on promising young talent, and the next player who may be on the move is Tiago Gabriel. AC Milan is closely monitoring the center-back’s progress.
This marks the Portuguese defender’s first complete season in Serie A. He made the switch to Lecce in January 2025, but it took him some time to adapt during the previous season.
Recently, he scored against Fiorentina, catching the attention of Milan in the process. This information, which highlights the 21-year-old’s rapid development in Serie A, comes from Gianluca Di Marzio.
Lecce acquired him for just €1 million, and his market value has surged to around €30 million. With summer approaching, the club is likely to make a significant profit, with Milan being one of several clubs interested. Although no negotiations have begun regarding Gabriel, the situation could change by summer.
This interest is heightened by Lecce’s track record, having sold Nikola Krstovic to Atalanta last summer, as well as transferring Patrick Dorgu to Manchester United in January 2025.
