Lecce are on the verge of completing a double transfer from Portuguese club Estrela Amadora, with Tiago Gabriel set to join Danilo Veiga in making the move to Italy. The Serie A side has already reached an agreement for Veiga, and now they are closing in on his teammate Gabriel.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Danilo Veiga’s transfer to Lecce has been agreed upon, with the Italian club set to pay €1 million plus €500,000 in bonuses for the player’s permanent transfer. Building on this successful negotiation, Lecce is now pushing to finalize a deal for Tiago Gabriel, a 20-year-old Portuguese central defender born in 2004.
Gabriel, like Veiga, is currently plying his trade with Estrela Amadora in Portugal’s top flight. The young defender has caught the eye of Lecce’s sporting director Pantaleo Corvino, who is known for his ability to spot and nurture young talent.
This double acquisition represents a significant coup for Lecce, as they look to strengthen their squad with promising young players. The arrival of both Veiga and Gabriel could provide a boost to Lecce’s defensive options and add depth to their squad as they navigate the challenges of Serie A.
As of January 26, 2025, Lecce appears to be in the final stages of completing these transfers, with an official announcement expected soon. The moves highlight Lecce’s ambition and their strategy of investing in young, talented players with potential for growth.
