With three first-team stalwarts expected to leave Giuseppe Meazza in June, Inter are in the market for defensive reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Juventus are reportedly ready to rival the Nerazzurri for the Portuguese starlet’s signature.

However, Gabriel’s future remains uncertain, with Premier League interest potentially swaying the 20-year-old away from Serie A.
