Miranda puts Gabigol off Inter?
By Football Italia staff
A remarkable report in Brazil claims Gabriel Barbosa decided against going to Inter after talking to Nerazzurri defender Joao Miranda.
According to UOL Esporte, Santos striker Gabriel Barbosa - known as Gabigol - called up fellow Brazilian Miranda to ask about life at San Siro.
The response was far from encouraging and Miranda told him that there was little chance this team could challenge for titles.
There is also a sense of confusion at the club after a takeover by Chinese group Suning and the sudden exit of Coach Roberto Mancini, replaced by Frank de Boer less than two weeks before the start of the Serie A season.
Gabigol will decide his future after completing the Olympic Games with Brazil’s squad.
He has offers from the likes of Inter, Juventus, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and Leicester City.
