Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa is close to Benfica, but Inter are now ready to include an option to buy for €25m and 25 per cent of a future sale.
The Nerazzurri had paid €29.5m to sign the Brazilian from Santos a year ago, but he wasn’t given a single Serie A start.
Negotiations had been on-going with Benfica for several days, despite competition from Sporting CP, Las Palmas and others.
According to Sky Sport Italia, a deal has been done between the two clubs for Gabigol to move on loan with an option to buy.

That will be worth €25m plus 25 per cent of any future transfer the forward makes, or €3m, depending on which sum is higher.
