Gabigol’s agent admits they used Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Leicester City interest to “make him one of the best-paid players at Inter.”

Gabriel Barbosa will arrive next week after completed a €29.5m move from Santos at the end of the transfer window.

“We had proposals for the lad from Inter, Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Leicester,” agent Wagner Ribeiro told Yahoo Esportes.

“Thanks to these situations we were able to better negotiate his salary with Inter, so he’ll be one of the best-paid players at the club.

“His net monthly wage packet will be circa €380,000, which is almost how much he earns per year at Santos. Inter will actually pay €460,000 before taxes.”

That translates to £326,000 per month and will eventually be €4.5m per year net for the 19-year-old.

With Mauro Icardi yet to sign a new contract with Inter and complaining that his wages were too low, this information could prompt the Argentine to ask for better terms.
