Juventus make first move for Lecce talent Tiago Gabriel amid Brentford competition

 

 

Juventus have opened initial talks for Tiago Gabriel, the 2004-born Lecce defender who has rapidly become one of the most sought-after young prospects in Serie A.

 

The Portuguese centre-back has now been placed firmly among the Bianconeri’s priority targets for the upcoming transfer windows. ............

 

However, Juve are far from alone. Several Premier League clubs have been tracking Tiago Gabriel for months, with Brentford reportedly ready to table an offer in the region of €20 million: a figure that could complicate the plans of Italian sides hoping to keep him in Serie A.

 

To stay competitive in the race, Juventus are considering adding a technical counterpart to their proposal. One of the most concrete options, per the report, is the inclusion of Vasilije Adzic on loan.

 

The young Juve midfielder has already been monitored by Lecce in the past, and his arrival could make the operation more appealing to the Salentini. ............

 

For now, the ball is with Lecce, but Juventus appear determined to put themselves in a strong position. ............

Two reasons why Xhaka’s Juventus move is unlikely

 

 

Granit Xhaka has been linked with a January move to Juventus, but the Swiss midfielder is happy at Sunderland, and the Bianconeri will be reluctant to make a big investment for a player who is well over 30, reports Alfredo Pedullà. ............

 

“Xhaka is happy at Sunderland, and I’m not sure Juventus can invest so much money in a player who is no longer young,” Pedullà said.

 

“Juventus will decide later on what to do. They must hire a new sporting director; there’s still a bit of confusion.” ............

 

“I expect Spalletti to switch to a four-man defence, a 4-3-3 system,” he added.

 

“From now on, I expect to see Spalletti’s hands, earning many points and showing the coach’s identity.” ............

Juventus on alert as Brozovic could be heading towards free agency

 

 

Juventus are reportedly keeping close tabs on the Marcelo Brozovic transfer saga, as Al-Nassr are struggling to lock him down with a new deal.

 

The midfielder spent eight years at Inter, before following Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi giants in the summer of 2023. ............

 

The contract talks between Brozovic and Al-Nassr have stalled, with the two parties unable to find an accord.

 

The Saudi Pro League giants would like to keep the experienced midfielder, but only on a reduced salary.

 

Therefore, the Croatian is reluctant to accept, although he feels fairly comfortable in Saudi Arabia. Brozovic could thus consider some of his other options, which may include Juventus, who are reportedly monitoring the situation.

 

The former Dinamo Zagreb star arguably hit his peak when he worked under Luciano Spalletti at Inter between 2017 and 2019. ............

 

While Brozovic’s quality is undeniable, one might wonder if he still has what it takes to cope with the pace of one of the biggest leagues in Europe, not to mention the Champions League.

 

This has been a common concern regarding players who dwell too long in peripheral leagues. Even though the Saudi Pro League has been enjoying a meteoric rise since 2023, the pace and quality are not comparable to the Italian top flight. ............

Corvino confirms Juventus interest in Lecce defender, reveals when they can sign him

 

 

Lecce technical director Pantaleo Corvino revealed that Juventus are among several clubs vying for the signature of Tiago Gabriel.

The Bianconeri are currently monitoring several young centre-backs, and the Portuguese is one of the profiles reported to be on Damien Comolli’s shortlist.

 

The 20-year-old is a Sporting CP youth product who had experiences at Setubal and Estrela Amadora before joining Lecce in January 2025. ............

 

He has thus far made 11 appearances in Serie A, including 10 as a starter, and scored a goal in the process. ............

 

“Many people like Tiago Gabriel, not just Juve,” said the experienced director in his interview.

 

“The lad is strong, we had patience and luck. But be careful: he’s staying here for the season. We considered him too important for our objectives; we mustn’t lose sight of him.”

 

Gabriel’s contract with Lecce is valid until June 2027, but both parties have the option to trigger a two-year extension. ............
