Agent: Gabigol a January option

By Football Italia staff

Gabriel Barbosa might not make it to Europe before January 2017, confirmed the Santos striker’s agent amid Juventus and Inter bids.

The striker, also known as Gabigol, is widely expected to launch his European career this season.

However, Santos hinted they’d like him to remain until January and his agent admits that’s an option.

“Yes, it is a possibility that Gabigol will only move to Europe in January,” agent Wagner Ribeiro told calciomercato.com.

“This too is something that we will evaluate after the Olympics.”

Inter and Juventus are believed to be leading the race for his signature, though Atletico Madrid and Leicester City are also interested.
