Gabigol yet to decide on Inter return as he enjoys Santos renaissance

Gabriel Barbosa is yet to decide whether he will be returning to Inter in January after rediscovering his form at Santos.

The Brazilian forward returned to his roots in January after struggling to make his mark in Europe.

Inter snapped him up for €29.5 million (£27m/$34m) in the summer of 2016, but restricted him to just 10 appearances.

A stint in Portugal with Benfica also failed to reignite the 22-year-old’s spark, leading him to head home.

Gabigol has flourished back in familiar surroundings, netting a hat-trick in his latest outing against Vasco de Gama, and admits he may look to extend his stay Santos despite having a contract in Italy.
