Gabriel Barbosa took to social media to bid farewell and thank Benfica after he completed his move back to Santos on loan earlier today.
“Today, I end my time with Benfica, a giant who I learned to admire. I would like to thank them for the opportunity. Also I must thank my teammates for caring and for the friendships formed in that period! Thank you brothers, thanks Benfica,” the 21-year-old striker posted to Twitter.
The Brazilian’s time in Portugal was far from successful as he made just five appearances in the first half of the season and managed just one goal.

If Santos gives him space he will work on his weakness and come back stronger that’s the only way for him to go somewhere
5 appearances with 1 goal doesn’t seem bad to me…not 5 starts..just appearances…benfica has better fowards than him anyways so it was always an uphill task to break into their first team…doing that was probably harder than breaking into Inter’s first team.Just interested to see how he plays for Santos.
a complete fucking flop this guy, if he was any good he would have stayed in Portugal
hahaha, what a prankster !
