“If Gabigol doesn’t play at Inter, then he will be loaned out to a European club,” confirmed Gabriel Barbosa’s agent.

The striker was snapped up from Santos in August for €29.5m, but made just eight appearances between Serie A and the Coppa Italia for a total 153 minutes of football.

He scored one goal against Bologna on February 19, but has not left the bench in the last six games.

“I went back to Milan yesterday and spoke to the Inter directors,” agent Wagner Ribeiro told Fox Sports Brasil.

“I went back to Milan yesterday and spoke to the Inter directors,” agent Wagner Ribeiro told Fox Sports Brasil.

“We will resolve the issue: if he doesn’t play, or rather, if he isn’t given the chance to play in future – not necessarily as a starter – then he will be loaned out to a European club.

“There will not be a return to Brazil.”

Sassuolo and Atalanta had been options to give the 20-year-old playing time in Serie A, but this suggests he could go to a different European League.
