Gabigol pushes for Brazil return

Inter forward Gabriel Barbosa is reportedly pushing to return to Brazil, though the club want to send him to Jiangsu Suning.

The striker joined the Nerazzurri from Santos for a fee totalling €33.5m in the summer of 2016, but he didn’t make a single Serie A start and scored just once.

After failing to convince new Coach Luciano Spalletti in pre-season, the Brazilian, who is known as Gabigol, went on loan to Benfica.

Santos, Sao Paulo, Flamengo and Cruzeiro are all thought to be interested, but they’d have to find an agreement with Inter, who don’t want to take a huge loss on Gabigol.

I’d love to have Gabi back at Santos, but going to China is probably best for his career at this point. He’d have a chance to get his confidence back, while rehabbing his image by proving he can be successful outside of his comfort zone.
