Career

Born in Cascais in the Lisbon District, Tiago Gabriel played for Sporting CP up to under-17 level, when he joined Vitória de Setúbal. He moved from under-19 at that club to under-23 at C.F. Estrela da Amadora.[1]

After 46 games and 5 goals in the under-23 and reserve teams of Estrela, Tiago Gabriel was promoted to the first team in August 2024 by manager Filipe Martins, due to a scarcity of defenders at the club.[2] He played 11 Primeira Liga games for the club, scoring the only goal on 23 December of a home win over Rio Ave FC, taking the Amadora-based side up to 12th place.[3]

In late January 2025, Tiago Gabriel and fellow Estrela defender Danilo Veiga transferred to US Lecce in the Italian Serie B, after Kialonda Gaspar had made the same journey at the start of the season. The transfer fee was reported in Portugal as €4 million between the two players, and in Italy as €2 million for Veiga and €1 million for Tiago Gabriel.[1][4]
