Gabriel Barbosa is keen on a move to Newcastle United but could have to play the waiting game to see if he can win his dream move to the Premier League.
The Flamengo star has been a long-term target of the Magpies but must watch on from South America to see what develops with other targets as Newcastle look closely at Moussa Diaby and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. There were brief discussions about Barbosa in January when a six-month loan option and £17million permanent deal was mooted.
Now Chronicle Live understands that Barbosa's representatives are open to continuing discussions on the player although there is realism in the player's camp as far as other potential targets are concerned. With the Brazilian Serie A season in full swing, Barbosa is currently trying to improve Flamengo's eighth-place position.
