Gabriel started to make a name for himself in the top-flight of Brazilian football and soon adopted the nickname ‘Gabigol’, following his consistency goalscoring exploits.

He joined Inter two years ago for €30 million but has since flattered to deceive at San Siro.

The forward is currently on loan at Santos, but after his temporary spell ends, the Italian side reportedly want to sell him straight away, with no loan deal considered, and they are prepared to slash his price to €15m to get him off their books.
