According to "Turin Sports News", Juventus is paying close attention to Lecce's new central defender Thiago Gabriel. The defender born in 2004 has already established himself as the main player in Lecce. And attracted the attention of Serie A and many Premier League giants.

Gabriel, who is 196 centimeters tall, has solid defense and strong aerial confrontation. These qualities have already aroused heated discussions. Two weeks ago at the Stadio Franchi, during Fiorentina's match against Lecce, Juventus sent scouts to conduct an on-site inspection.

It is expected that Gabriel's transfer price will soar to 25 million to 30 million euros in the next few months, and the Premier League is ready to make a blockbuster offer in the winter window. However, the Serie A giants are also keeping a close eye on him. Juventus is continuing to track him and will continue to observe him. Inter Milan also inspected him closely when they faced Verona last Saturday; and Milan has also entered Thiago Gabriel into the database and will conduct in-depth research in the next few weeks.

From the perspective of technical characteristics and physical fitness, Gabriel can become a qualified substitute for Bremer in the three-back system, and can also play alongside Bremer in the four-back system.
