According to reports from Tuttosport, Juventus intends to sign Lecce’s 20-year-old central defender Thiago Gabriel after the winter window opens, and may also loan Adzic out to Lecce to complete the deal.

Metropolis analyzed the reasons why Juventus signed Thiago. In addition to his excellent performance, signing a player born after January 1, 2003 means that it will not occupy the team's lineup, so there is no need to let go or lay off other players to make room for new players.

Not only Juventus, but also Premier League clubs are eyeing Thiago Gabriel. Many Premier League clubs have sent representatives to pay close attention to and inspect Thiago. Brentford in particular are reportedly prepared to make a move to sign him. The English club could lure Lecce into selling their star player with an offer of around €20 million in January.

However, the ending may be different this time, and in the competition for Gabriel, the Serie A club may have the last laugh. In this transfer race, in addition to financial offers, possible technical compensation may also play a decisive role. The possibility of using a player from the new generation team as partial compensation to meet Lecce's needs cannot be ruled out.

In addition, don’t forget Adzic, a player who has also been inspected by Lecce in the past. They may still be interested in loaning him out. Additionally, it’s no secret that Juventus are in the market for a playmaker. If the team does welcome new players in the midfield core, the Montenegrin genius may be loaned elsewhere to get stable playing time.
