Gabriel Barbosa, undoubtedly, was the breakthrough striker of South American football during 2019. However, after his great year at Flamengo, Gabigol continues to have an uncertain future considering that 'Fla' has not yet reached an agreement with Inter Milan to extend his loan for another season.
In that sense, the portal Sky Sports has revealed that a team from the Premier League is preparing an offer for the services of Gabriel Barbosa: West Ham. In total, the English club is willing to pay 17 million euros for the 23-year-old striker and Inter Milan sees this offer with good eyes.
With this proposal from West Ham, Flamengo would have many difficulties to retain Gabriel Barbosa and would have to resign themselves to his departure. In addition, Gabigol would have his first experience in European football after returning to his native Brazil: previously, as you know, he played for Inter and Benfica in Portugal.
However, Gabriel Barbosa would not be arriving at West Ham at his best moment. The London team recently made a change in their coaching staff with the addition of David Moyes and they are currently in 16th place in the Premier League with 22 points, only two points ahead of the relegation zone.
