Brazilian star Gabriel breaks Pele's record, scores Copa Libertadores goal, attracts European interest
Posted : 18 July 2023
Angelo Gabriel, the young Brazilian sensation, has been making headlines since his debut for Santos in October 2020, where he broke Pele's record as the club's second-youngest player.
His impressive performance and record-breaking goal in the Copa Libertadores caught the attention of scouts from top European clubs, with Liverpool and AC Milan expressing interest initially.
However, it was Barcelona who secured the first right to sign Angelo Gabriel as part of a legal settlement with Santos.
Despite his dreams of following in the footsteps of his idol, Neymar, at Camp Nou, Barcelona's financial constraints and Santos' coaching upheaval slowed the deal's progress. Meanwhile, English clubs, including Newcastle and Chelsea, have shown interest in the young prodigy.
Chelsea's interest in Angelo Gabriel can be seen as a chance to make up for their unsuccessful attempts to sign Neymar in the past. With Santos potentially accepting an offer of €15 million, Chelsea aims to secure the Brazilian's talents and may use their recently acquired club, Strasbourg, to facilitate a loan move for the player.
Angelo Gabriel has expressed his ambition to win the Ballon d'Or and promote himself on the global stage. Despite the uncertainties surrounding his future, he remains eager to prove himself in Europe after breaking records in South America.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen which club will secure the young star's services, but Angelo Gabriel's potential and aspirations have put him in the spotlight as a highly sought-after talent in the football world.
