“The offer came from an Italian team, although I can’t name them.”
Agent Stephanie Figer added to FCInterNews.it: “We’ve extended his contract with Cruzeiro until 2021.
“His release clause is worth more than €40m for foreign teams. Several European clubs as important as the Nerazzurri are monitoring Gabriel.
“His promising performances in a short career have put him on the radar of several European teams.
“Braga in Portugal and Roma of Italy have shown interest in his development.”
