Barcelona will soon contact Santos over a possible move for Angelo Gabriel, with a bid worth €30 million in the works.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Angelo Gabriel is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The Catalan giants will soon contact Santos over a possible move for the 18-year-old winger. They might also offer €30 million to secure the services of the teenage prodigy in the summer transfer window.
The conveyor belt of talent continues to produce prodigies in Brazil. The latest generation has seen Endrick hog much of the limelight. But several other prospects have also emerged on the radars of several high-profile clubs. One such player is Santos wonderkid Angelo Gabriel.
The 18-year-old winger progressed through the ranks at the Brazilian club before making his first-team debut as a 15-year-old. And Gabriel has come leaps and bounds since then, establishing himself as one of the best young prospects in his homeland. And despite managing only two goals and one assist in 21 appearances this term, he remains highly rated.
Gabriel’s progress has not gone unnoticed either, with several high-profile clubs in Europe setting their sights on him. Newcastle United are one of his long-term suitors. But Barcelona will look to beat the Magpies to the signature of the Brazilian wonderkid.
Barcelona and Santos share a rich history after dealing with each other for Neymar’s services several years ago. The 31-year-old went on to forge a lasting legacy at Spotify Camp Nou despite leaving in acrimonious circumstances. And Barcelona will look to repeat the trick by pursuing Angelo Gabriel this summer.
The Catalan giants want to contact Santos to kick-start the negotiations for the 18-year-old Brazilian winger. And they are ready to offer €30 million to secure Angelo Gabriel’s services in the summer transfer window. But it is unclear if the Brazilian club will happily accept such an offer from Barcelona.
Nonetheless, the Catalan giants need to bolster their wide-attacking options amid uncertainties surrounding Raphinha and Ferran Torres. And replacing either player with Angelo Gabriel might be a sensible move. It will be interesting to see how Santos will respond to an offer worth €30 million from Barcelona.
