Inter are making strides to sign Gabriel Barbosa. Today Santos’s president Modesto Roma spoke to FcInter1908.it about the nerazzurri’s assault on the player:
“I can confirm that we have received an offer from Inter for Gabigol. Now we are only waiting for the final decision from the player and his family. If the family gives their approval then we can define the details with Inter and close the deal. Will things accelerate after the Olympics? Probably yes, we are all waiting.”

Since himself (represented by himself) owned some portions of the contract, rite? that’s why his family decision matter here
Yeaa
Poor FDB, first he gets the job when it’s less than 2 weeks to the start of the season and now one of the two remaining friendlies are cancelled due to heavy rain. He only have the Celtic game on Saturday left. Move that game to Dubai, we can’t afford another rainy day.
I think it was in his advantage. He had only 1 training session with the team. And Gladbach is so much more prepared than us, as they have to play a CL qualifier in the coming days.
Lol, are you afraid of another 1-6? I understand. But he needed this game to evaluate the players and try out some tactics, plus the players would gain more matchfitness.
I know that friendlies results don’t matter. But a team never gains winning mentality by getting trashed in several friendly games. He can evaluate the players in the trainings, find his favorite starting line-up, and have a true test in the game against Celtic.
true! This game was important for him to make up his mind on which players he’d so that Inter can try to bring some new players before the transfer window closes. Result was irrelevant
actually i read somewhere that we and juve offered the same amount to the club but we offered more money to the family, more than juve or other clubs are willing to offer them. So i think we’re ahead in the race to sign him
and yet the family is stalling and secretly hoping he’ll shine at the olympics and they’ll hit the jackpot. No vision about the future, just make an extra buck today. That’s why Brazil is in crisis, so much wasted potential!
Dnt think its stalling. Its common practice to wait after a tournament to sign. And besides that its just good business.
Thankfully only Juve and Inter made offers for him. Not Leicester, the players agent lied about it according to Santos President. I wouldn’t go to Juve to fight for places against Higuain, Dybala, Mandzukic, Zaza and Pjaca if i was him. That leaves Inter as hot favourites specially if they sell Icardi. For now….at least. Until some other club make an offer and steals him right from under our noses. We are getting used to that by now.
Anyone else annoyed with game being postponed tonight?
I think it’s canceled altogether and yes I was looking forward to FDB first game in charge
Bro! I streamed the match…BUT IT WAS CANCELLED! Lol I was way more frustrated because I prepared everything. “Back in my day we used to play in the rain while BAREFOOTED”
I was curious to see his Starting XI..
If he disregards Nagashit and Melo and gives oppurtunity to Gnoukori I’d become an instant admirer!
