A source close the club has revealed to Turkish Football that Fenerbahce have struck a deal with Inter Milan to loan Barbosa for 12 months.

Barbosa arrived at Inter too much fanfare after he helped Brazil to Olympic gold last Summer.

The Sun meanwhile have linked West Ham United with a move for the 20-year-old.

However, his lack of game time for Inter could prove to be a major barrier. The Hammers are concerned that Barbosa would not meet part of the work-permit criteria for the top flight’s exceptions panel.

The Brazil international striker played just 9 Serie A games for Inter Milan last season. Barbosa has managed to score just one goal since his move to Europe from Brazil.
