Flamengo have reportedly agreed to pay Inter €17m (£14.4m) and the Serie A giants will retain 20 per cent of any future sell-on fee.

Gabigol finished last season’s Brasileirao campaign as the top scorer in the division with 25 goals in 29 league games.

In fact, the Brazil international played a direct hand in more goals than he made appearances (33 goals and assists).

Furthermore, only team-mate Giorgian de Arrascaeta (7.82) garnered a higher WhoScored rating than Gabigol (7.55) in the division.
