According to a report by Foot Mercato, Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona are interested in Lecce center-back Tiago Gabriel.
At 21 years of age, the young Portuguese defender has established himself as a key cog in coach Eusebio di Francesco’s team.
Per the report, three clubs are currently interested in Gabriel are the Bavarians, Barça, and Saudi Arabian club Neom SC.
Gabriel has apparently been a revelation for Lecce this season, managing to start seventeen games so far this season in Serie A.
Lecce are determined to keep him for at least the remainder of the season, but they could be swayed if a very significant offer arrived.
So far this campaign, the centre-half has racked up 17 appearances in the Italian topflight, while contributing with a solitary goal.
