"?Italian side Inter Milan are close to completing the signing of Gabriel Barbosa, who has impressed at this summer's Olympic Games in his native country of Brazil.
"?According to Goal, Frank de Boer's side will pay 'Gabigol's' current club Santos a total of £25m for his services, fending off the interest of a number of other clubs from around the continent.
Premier League champions Leicester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Inter's rivals Juventus were all said to have expressed an interest in the young starlet, however the Nerazzurri appear to have won the race.
A deal for the forward has been agreed in principle between the two clubs, with Inter to wait until after the conclusion of the games to speak with the 19-year-old.
Having scored two goals in three appearances at the tournament, the young striker remains fully focused on attempting to win gold at his home Olympics.
Big match tonight. I wish the best of luck for #BRA, especially @neymarjr and @gabigol from my team @SantosFC. #Olympics
Brazil will face Honduras on Wednesday for a chance to compete against either Nigeria or Germany in the gold medal match on Saturday.
Inter's decision to wait to conclude the deal does give the other sides in the hunt the chance to make their move however it appears unlikely that they will do so.
Chelsea have turned their attentions to former Blues striker Romelu Lukaku, whilst Jose Mourinho has insisted that Manchester United have completed the signing of the four players they were in the market for.
Should Gabigol arrive at the San Siro, further questions may be asked of club captain Mauro Icardi whose future has been in doubt all summer following a series of claims by his agent.
