Napoli targets Lecce defender Tiago Gabriel in transfer bid

Napoli is reportedly interested in Lecce defender Tiago Gabriel, aiming to bolster their backline. The 21-year-old has become a standout player for Lecce, making 37 Serie A appearances last season. With his contract expiring next summer, Lecce may be compelled to sell, especially with a €20 million price tag placed on Gabriel. Other clubs, including Milan and Inter, are also pursuing the young center-back, amplifying the potential bidding war. Napoli could gain an advantage as Milan recently signed Mario Gila, reducing their defensive needs.
