Santos Coach Jair Ventura says he “knows where to play” Gabriel Barbosa, who is close to returning on loan from Inter.
The striker joined the Nerazzurri for a total of €33.5m in 2016, but scored only one goal and failed to make a single Serie A start.
Following a similarly unsuccessful spell on loan with Benfica the Brazilian, who is known as Gabigol, wants to return to his parent club.
Last night it was reported that an 18-month loan is a done deal, with the 21-year-old accepting a pay cut.

“I already know everything,” Jair Ventura admitted, speaking to Globoesporte.
“I know how to use him on the pitch too, but now I can’t say anything.”
