MILAN – As one of the most recent additions to the Nerazzurri changing room, Gabriel Barbosa has expressed his delight at joining such a prestigious club.
The forward from Sao Bernardo do Campo, 20, had a message for the Nerazzurri fans from Brazil's national team meet-up: "Becoming an Inter player on my 20th birthday was a wonderful present. It feels amazing to join a club with so much history.
"I've already had a taste of the Nerazzurri supporters' passion and I can't wait to play in front of them at San Siro. It's a dream come true. Thanks everyone, see you soon!"
President Erick Thohir was one of the first to welcome the newly crowned Olympic champion: "We're proud that Gabigol has chosen to join us in order to prove what he can do in a new footballing environment, having already showcased his ability in the Brazilian domestic leagues and with the national team. He will play a big part in the team both now and going forward.
"Inter have always kept a keen eye on young talent and we're sure that Frank de Boer is the right coach to get the best out of stars like Gabigol."
Gabigol enjoyed a busy summer, which culminated in an Olympic gold medal. He will join up with Inter in time for the home game against Bologna, after the Selecao's 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Colombia.
