By the end of December, the future of Gabriel Barbosa or Gabigol as he is also known as, will be revealed, which is when Gabigol’s loan with Santos ends.

Turin based newspaper Tuttosport credits the Brazilan for the brace he scored on Sunday night, which increased his goal tally in the Brazilian league to 12, making him the undisputed top goal scorer for the time being. It is performances like these that have earned him the respect and compliments of the coach, Cuca, who said: “He was decisive once again, occupying spaces very well. I wouldn’t say he is a central striker, but he is working to improve because it is important for him and his future.”

In addition, this is also very pleasing news to Inter’s Sporting Director Piero Ausilio. This is because, if Inter are planning to sell him, they cannot accept any less than €20 million or they’d be making a loss, which wouldn’t help their already tight finances.
