At Santos, Gabigol would earn half of what he was offered by Premier League side Chelsea.
According to UOL Esporte, Gabriel Barbosa surprised his agents and even some leaders of Santos by rejecting an offer from Chelsea to renew his contract with the Brazilian club until 2021. The player did not prioritize the financial part, and turned down the chance to move to one of the biggest leagues in Europe. The report states that Gabigol was offered a five-year contract and €2 million per-year by Chelsea. In total, the youngster’s salary would be €10 million, plus bonuses. Thus, his monthly wages would’ve been €170,000 and this amount is more than double of what he will earn at Santos following the contract renewal. As mentioned in the report, new wages of the 19-year-old at Santos will be close to €80,000. People close to Gabigol didn’t understand the reason for rejecting Chelsea. Some claim that the player wanted to leave Santos with an idol status, while others comment that he dreams of playing for Real Madrid. If the offer was from Los Blancos, the outcome would’ve been different.
