Inter Milan intend to keep hold of striker Gabriel Barbosa.

The former Santos star has been linked with a move away this month.

“Inter never told me Gabigol could be sold," agent Wagner Ribeiro said to news agency Ansa.

“He has a contract until June 2021. In any case, I will be in Milan for talks on January 13.

“Gabriel has so much potential. He just needs to be helped to grow and settle in, because being 20 years old cannot be a problem, it must be treated as an advantage.

“Gabigol combines strength and talent. We hope it'll be a better 2017 for him and for Inter."
