"Sunday night's game against Lecce gave AC Milan a chance to watch a transfer target first hand: centre-back Tiago Gabriel. Corriere della Sera (via Radio Rossonera) have confirmed that the Milan directors are keen on Tiago Gabriel, who they could see up close in last night's 1-0 win. Moreover, the central defender had a very diligent performance, which has earned him plenty of praise."
"They go on to state that an asking price of around €20m has been set for the Portuguese. However, it is unlikely that the 21-year-old Portuguese will arrive in the winter window, because Lecce have found themselves in a relegation battle. The player is highly regarded by his coach, Eusebio Di Francesco, who commented on his match at San Siro as follows: "Tiago played a truly excellent match for me. They did a great job of courageous linework, keeping the team high up whenever possible.""
AC Milan watched Lecce centre-back Tiago Gabriel closely during the 1-0 match at San Siro and have shown clear interest. An asking price near €20m has been indicated, though a winter transfer appears unlikely while Lecce fight relegation. The 21-year-old is highly rated by coach Eusebio Di Francesco, who praised his excellent match and courageous linework. The 1.96m defender has become a regular starter this season, featuring in 95% of Serie A starts and 96% of minutes. A goal against Cagliari on matchday four highlighted a strong campaign and could attract competition.
