Gabriel Barbosa has completed his loan spell with Santos and will return to Inter Milan next month.
On December 20th, Gazzetta dello Sport again reported West Ham are one of the main contenders.
A day later, we relayed news from Turkey that Fenerbahce are looking to beat the English club to his signing.
There is a new development around the Brazilian’s future at San Siro, if reports from FCInterNews.it are to be believed.
Only the Hammers’ interest is explained and it is claimed the 23-year-old has given a ‘mandate’ to his agent, Kia Joorabchian and advised him to temporarily stop negotiations with the Premier League club.
This is because Gabriel wants to discuss his future with the Nerazzurri manager Luciano Spalletti, once he returns to Europe on January 7th, and then take a decision, even though Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has made it clear that Gabriel has no place at the club.
It is unlikely the situation could chance for the player after talking to Spalletti.
