"Santos" has confirmed that the promising 19-year-old striker Gabriel Barbosa, for 20 million euros, will most likely strengthen Turin's "Juventus" club.
Gabigol, nicknamed the sniper, had attracted the attention of Paris "Saint-Germain", Dortmund "Borussia", "Barcelona", London's "Chelsea", and other European clubs, but it seems that the battle for the Brazilian should be won by the Italian champions.
Interestingly, "Juventus" is also expected to soon add Gonzalo Higuain, who will cost 94 million euros. It is believed that "Juventus" is preparing to bid farewell to Simone Zaza and Mario Mandžukić.
"We have sent an official letter to Gabriel's representatives," said "Santos" president Modesto Roma.
"Santos" emphasized that they are ready to take the final step towards the player's sale, but they will also need to inform "Barcelona". According to the president, Barcelona has been interested in the striker for a long time, so they have the right to offer more and extend the battle for the player's acquisition. Otherwise, "Juventus" club's offer will be accepted.
In this Brazilian football season, the young player scored 12 goals in 27 games played.
