Newcastle United 'target' Gabriel Barbosa has already outlined his plan to return to Europe at some point in his career. As ChroniceLive reported earlier today, the Brazilian is understood to be keen on a move to St. James' Park, but may be made to bide his time.
Barbosa endured a torrid time in European football with Inter Milan and then a loan move to Benfica, scoring just twice in 15 appearances. He would move on loan back to Santos where he rediscovered his goal scoring touch.
The 25-year-old has scored a remarkable 123 goals since joining Flamengo in 2019. The original loan move from Inter Milan saw 'Gabigol' score 43 goals in 59 appearances in all competitions before the move became a permanent one in 2020.
