Lincoln’s agent claims a swap deal involving the Flamengo starlet and Inter forward Gabriel Barbosa would be ‘a great deal for everyone’.
Lincoln is considered one of Brazil’s brightest prospects, the attacker already making 17 appearances for Flamengo, despite being just 17 years of age.
Gabigol, meanwhile, is expected to leave Inter when he returns from a loan spell at Santos in January, and Frederico Pena had an idea.
“I think Lincoln’s ready to play in Europe,” he told FcInterNews.it.

“I think Lincoln’s ready to play in Europe,” he told FcInterNews.it.
“For top players, it’s always better to move as soon as possible so they can adapt quickly to elite football culture quickly. His clause? €50m.
“Swap with Gabigol? It would be a great deal for everyone. Gabigol is a great forward and for Flamengo, who want to be the best team in South America, he would be an excellent player, precisely because of his maturity.
“However, it’d also be excellent for Inter because his investment would turn into an element with the same great qualities.
“Barbosa unfortunately didn’t break through with the Nerazzurri, but he remains a very good player.”
