Reason Why Gabigol’s Move From Inter To Flamengo Hasn’t Been Officially Confirmed

Despite already confirming the move himself yesterday, Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa’s move from Inter to Flamengo is lacking official confirmation from the clubs.

According to a report from Colunadoflamengo.com, Flamengo are waiting on a document signed by Inter to arrive before being able to announce the arrival of the 22-year-old striker on a dry loan.

The Brazilian enjoyed a successful loan spell at Santos during 2018, scoring 18 goals in 35 league appearances that won him the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A top scorer award.

Prior to this deal being agreed, he was subject to interest from West Ham United and Fulham from the Premier League but issues concerning the gaining of a UK work permit prevented any move from happening.
