Inter flop Gabriel Barbosa won’t leave Benfica early, his entourage insists, despite playing just 26 minutes so far.
The striker joined the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2016 for a fee of around €30m, but he failed to make a single start and scored just one goal.
Having failed to impress new Coach Luciano Spalletti in pre-season, the Brazilian joined Benfica on loan with an option to buy on transfer deadline day.

However, he’s made just two substitute appearances since making the move and it was reported Gabigol could return to former club Santos.
“There’s no evidence of dissatisfaction on his part,” a member of the player’s entourage insisted in an interview with Esporte Interativo.
“There’s nothing to say, he’s working hard every day to win a place in the group, and he knew he’d have to earn his chance in training session after training session.”
