Empoli legend Ighli Vannucchi has called on his former club to negotiate a loan for Inter’s Gabriel Barbosa. “It’s the best place for him…”
Gabigol has played just 16 minutes in an Inter shirt since arriving from Santos for big money in August, prompting Vannucchi to advise the Brazilian to consider spending time at Empoli, a stepping stone for the likes of Vincenzo Montella and Antonio Di Natale before him.

“If he’s a player of great ability and talent, Empoli’s the best place for him to bring out his qualities,” the retired playmaker told Tuttomercatoweb.
“History proves this. From Montella to Di Natale, Tavano to Marchionni, the list is long.”
