Flamengo manage to sign Barbosa

Flamengo have completed the permanent signing of Gabriel Barbosa from Inter Milan, with the deal in question being set to last all the way through until 2024. 

Sky Italy was reporting that West Ham United were interested in signing the forward last year, but that they couldn’t quite get a deal over the finish line. ‘Gabigol’ was signed by Inter Milan back in 2016 for a fee of around £32 million, but he wasn’t able to replicate the form that saw him have so much success at the 2016 Summer Olympics in his home nation. 

Barbosa has had a lot of success during his time out on loan in Brazil, and now, he has put any and all rumors of him coming back to European football to bed for a few years.

While he may pop up again somewhere down the road, he seems to be perfectly happy with what he’s doing right now with Flamengo.
