It would seem that the Gabigol to Santos soap opera is finally coming to an end. Premium Sport are reporting that Inter and Santos have come to an agreement for the young Brazilian forward that would see him return to his former club.
Gabigol will return to Santos in a loan move for eighteen months in a deal thought to be worth €1.5 million to Inter. The Brazilian will have take a drop in wages to return to his former club in a bid to resurrect his career. Premium Sport suggest that Santos club sponsor Peixe have agreed to pay half pf the players’ wages with Inter paying the other half.
The Benfica forward moved to Inter from Santos in the summer of 2016. His transfer was met with clamour and almost instantly became an idol to the Inter fans. Unfortunately, the Inter faithful never really got to see the best of their hero on the pitch. He featured in just 9 times for Inter in all competitions scoring just one goal for the club away to Bologna in Serie A.
Hopefully this builds his confidence up and hopefully he comes back stronger than ever. People call him a flop but i mean we never really did give this kid a chance, you can see were doing the same thing with karamoh. Gabigol has the skill and if you look at his statistics he has an average of a goal a game, he played what 80 minutes in seria a maybe less and he had one goal, in Portugal he played 160 minutes or so and he has one goal, you cant put the kid out there with 5-10 minutes and expect a lot. maybe we did overhype him and expected a lot from a 19 year old. Hopefully he plays and ill continue to watch him to see his talent. Inter fans are hard on their players just like any other big club but i wish Good luck to Gabi and hopefully he builds his potential and comes back and starts on the RW as candreva is only got 1-3 more years left.
