Gabreal Barbosa is the latest talented footballer to come
off the santos production line following in the footsteps of the great pele and
Brazilian footballs current talisman Neymar. At only the age of the age of 16 a
50 million euro buyout clause was inserted into his contract to ward off
interest from Europe. Gabreal is blessed with great technique as well as an
excellent ability to place the ball he also has the ability to stay calm under pressure
and be clinical. Gabreal is the heir to Neymar at santos were he has scored 18
goals after 51 appearances it has also been revealed that Barcelona have first
option to buy Barbosa from the Neymar deal. But Barbosa is more than a club
player he is set to play a major part in the reconstruction of the national
team after their humiliating defeat in the 2014 world cup. The world cup saw
brazil for the first time in a generation without a world class striker a post
not been filled really since the retirement of the mesmeric original Ronaldo .Barbosa is
a striker who has the natural talent and grace to fill that role if he is
nurtured well at the right club he could blossom into the world’s greatest
center forward and perhaps lead brazil to the world cup in 2018 And if he does
go to barca he could form a potent partnership with former teammate Neymar that
can only help brazil return to its rightful place at the zenith of world
football.
