With this uncertainty, Napoli may target Tiago Gabriel, a young defender from Lecce, resulting in competition with AC Milan. Both clubs are interested in Gabriel, who has garnered attention from top Serie A teams. Napoli had initially planned to focus their summer transfers elsewhere, but this injury has forced a reevaluation of their needs.
