There are reports in which that should the deal for Inter Milan to sign Santos forward Gabriel Barbosa falls, that their next option is to get Colombian striker and current Jiangsu player Roger Martinez.
The 22-year-old has scored seven goals in his first five matches in the Chinese Super League and are hoping to get him as a backup to players such as Mauro Icardi.
Even if they do sign Gabigol, they still plan to bring Martinez to Serie A, loaning or selling him to another club.

He looks really good in the videos I’ve watch. Reminds me a lot of Bacca.
Its well known that he’ll end up at Inter at one point, that’s what his agent stated when he signed for Jiangsu. Him joining has nothing to do with GabiGol as far as I see it; with Erkin out well free up another non-EU spot and have two spots for both Gabi and Martinez, plus the two players do not play the same position either- Gabi works his magic from the right where he loves to cut inside like Berradi or Robben, where as Martinez is a center striker like Icardi still a bit more mobile,..
Erkin’s leaving won’t free up a non-EU spot.
Sure it will
No, it won’t. In La Liga teams have a quota of how many non EU players they’re allowed in their squad. But in Serie A it’s different. We have a quota on the number of non EU players we can sign each transfer window. Even if we sell Erkin/Loan Erkin/terminate his contract that doesn’t change the fact that we signed him this transfer window, thus using up 1 of our non-EU quota for this summer.
really? Didnt know that, but if that´s right then what the hell were our directors thinking when we signed him? I know Mancini wanted him at all and now the coward is gone, but still!!
But thanks for “inlightening” me! 😉
If I play FM 2016 the player must register at the League when transfer window nearly closed, so if the player sell before transfer window closed soo it free the quota of Non-EU. But dont know in the real world LOL
I do not play football manager but I actually thought this was the case- that we’d submit our squads list in the beginning of September.
It won’t, you can ask more ppl if you don’t trust me.
