Paper Talk: Liverpool target gives Inter ultimatum; West Ham face competition for Ranocchia

Paper Talk: Liverpool target gives Inter ultimatum; West Ham face competition for Ranocchia

Liverpool target Gabriel Barbosa or “Gabigol” wants assurances from his current club Inter Milan that he will be given more playing time at the club. Corriere della Sera states that the 20-year-old Brazilian, who arrived from Santos last summer, is getting frustrated at his lack of opportunities in the starting XI at the San Siro.

The young striker has only played 20 minutes of league football since his arrival in Italy and recent reports have suggested that the Merseyside giants are looking to take him to Anfield on a loan-deal for the rest of the season. Whilst the Nerazzurri seem willing to strike this bargain, the player himself seems to have other ideas.
