Neymar and Brazilian legends back Newcastle linked Gabriel Barbosa to 'play in any team'

Gabriel Barbosa Newcastle Brazil Gabigol Flamengo Tim Vickery Zico Magpies Adriano Europe

Brazilian striker Gabriel Barbosa has re-emerged as an intriguing transfer target for Newcastle United this summer. The 25-year-old Flamengo striker was understood to be on Newcastle radar back in January, with brief discussions taking place about a loan-move with an option to buy.

ChronicleLive understands Barbosa's representatives are now keen on re-opening discussions. The Brazilian forward is said to want to silence some of his critics in Europe, who saw him flop during his ill-fated spell with Inter Milan back in 2016.

Barbosa, nicknamed 'Gabigol', moved to Inter for a fee around the £30m mark, and failed to settle in Italy. At that time, he was one of Brazil's most hyped-up prospects. During his time at the San Siro however, he scored just once in 10 appearances, before ending up back in Brazil.
