Leicester City is reportedly among the clubs vying for the signature of Gil Vicente defender Gabriel Pereira, as per reports from Portugal.
The newspaper O Jogo recently published an extensive piece detailing the pursuit of the center-back, with the primary impetus being FC Porto’s keen interest in securing his services. With FC Porto actively seeking to bolster their defensive lineup, Gabriel is purportedly a target on their radar.
O Jogo further highlights that while FC Porto may currently hold a favorable position in negotiations, they face competition from Leicester City, Real Betis, and CSKA Moscow for the player’s acquisition.
Although the article does not confirm whether any of these clubs have submitted formal bids for Gabriel’s transfer, it underscores Porto’s perceived advantage in the race for his signature.
Gabriel, who joined Gil Vicente in January this year in a €650k deal, has seen his value rise to €1.5m according to Transfermarkt. This valuation suggests that a potential move to Leicester City is within their financial capabilities. However, the situation remains dynamic, and it is prudent to monitor how the interests of all the involved parties unfold.
