Inter forward Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa is heading to Benfica on loan with the Portuguese club paying all of his wages.
The Brazilian was signed from Santos a year ago for €29.5m, but didn’t make a single Serie A start.
He was in advanced negotiations for a loan to Sporting CP, but they wanted Inter to shoulder his salary, paying only for his car and accommodation.
According to Sky Sport Italia, a deal has been reached between Inter and Benfica to loan Gabigol for one season.
