In a late-night development, Lecce have successfully concluded negotiations for the acquisition of Danilo Veiga from Estrela Amadora. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the agreement, reached in the early hours of Sunday, marks a significant reinforcement for Marco Giampaolo’s squad as they enter the second half of the season.
Veiga, a 22-year-old Portuguese defender born in 2002, is set to join Lecce on a permanent transfer. This move comes as a timely boost for the Salentini, who have been actively seeking to strengthen their defensive options.
The young right-back has been making waves in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, showcasing his potential with Estrela Amadora. His versatility and promising performances have caught the eye of several clubs, but it’s Lecce who have won the race for his signature.
This transfer not only addresses Lecce’s immediate defensive needs but also represents a strategic long-term investment in a player with considerable potential for growth. As Giampaolo prepares his team for the challenges ahead, Veiga’s arrival is expected to inject fresh energy and depth into the squad.
