Inter: Gabigol answer today?

Santos should apparently answer Inter's offer for Gabigol today, but they may still delay the deal.

The Nerazzurri are believed to have a slight edge over their competitors Juventus for the signing of the Brazilian youngster.

Their offer currently amounts to €25m, €18m of which would go to Santos and the remaining €7m to the third parties that own the player.

Tuttosport claims that Inter are awaiting an answer to their offer today, although this by no means implies that the deal will be closed this early.

For one thing, even if the Nerazzurri did get an answer today, they wouldn't necessarily let it be known until the transfer is officially completed. Furthermore, as this is not an ultimatum, it's easy to imagine that Santos would thwart Inter's expectations and delay providing their answer until they are certain this is the best deal they can get.
