Inter Milan sign Manchester United, Chelsea target Gabriel Barbosa

Inter Milan sign Gabriel Barbosa

Inter Milan have completed the signing of Gabriel Barbosa from Santos on a five-year deal.

The 20-year-old had been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester City all reportedly interested.

However, the Brazilian striker has now put pen to paper on a deal at San Siro, committing his future to Inter until 2021.

Gabriel, known as Gabigol, spent four years with Santos, helping them to two league titles by scoring 56 goals. The youngster was also part of the Brazilian squad that won Olympic gold in Rio de Janeiro earlier this month.

Gabriel becomes Inter's second major signing in as many days following the arrival of Joao Mario from Sporting Lisbon for £38.4m.
