If Inter and Santos fail to find an agreement over Gabriel Barbosa, he will be relegated to Benfica’s reserve team Benfica B according to local media reports.
Correio da Manha report that the 21-year-old Brazilian is not wanted in the first team by manager Rui Vitoria and Gabigol does not like the idea but it could become inevitable if no deal is struck by Inter and his former club.
Inter and Santos are in talks over a loan move that would see the striker put an end to a miserable loan spell in Portugal. It is hoped that a loan back to his former club will get him back on the straight and narrow after 18 difficult months since departing the Brazilian side.
Santos would appear optimistic of bringing Gabigol back given they granted his request of leaving the number 10 shirt number free for him when they published their squad numbers for the upcoming season GloboEsporte add.
