Present at Wyscout Forum in London, former Fiorentina striker Nuno Gomes spoke about Inter duo Joao Mario and Gariel Barbosa’s (Gabigol) respective situations to CalcioMercato.com’s microphones: “Gabriel is a typical Brazilian player who has the potential to individually decide a game. He was hindered in Italy and has not been given a chance at Benfica, but his qualities are obvious. He must continue to work so he can show why he was considered to be so good.”

“Joao Mario? For me he is instrumental, technically he is very good, once you watch him you instantly realise he is a great player, he’s evolving tactically, but the system at Inter does not suit him. If Paris Saint Germain want him, something might happen.”

Rumours of Gabigol returning from loan at Benfica early and Joao Mario being offered in an exchange deal for Javier Pastore from PSG have been circulating recently and both of their futures with Inter are unknown but they still have time to change things if they truly wish to.
