# Palace set to miss out on Gabriel Barbosa, with move to Brazil almost certain – Should Palace look elsewhere?

Reported Crystal Palace target Gabriel Barbosa is set to reject a move to Palace, with the striker set to secure a €22 million move back to Brazil.

[The striker had been linked](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2019/10/16/palace-linked-with-move-for-free-scoring-gabriel-barbosa/) with a move to Selhurst Park after his latest loan spell in Brazil ended. However, reports from [Fox Sports Brazil](https://www.foxsports.com.br/news/430120-paulo-lima-gabigol-recusa-oferta-da-europa-e-ficara-em-definitivo-no-flamengo-por-rs--milhoes) suggest that Gabigol is set to Flamengo on a permanent deal.

The striker had been prolific during his loan spell at the club, impressing many with his goalscoring abilities being a huge contrast from how he played for Inter.

This news seemingly ends Palace’s pursuit of the striker.

### Read crystal Palace’s verdict

Palace will now seemingly be looking elsewhere for a striker in January now.

The Eagles have reportedly been looking elsewhere for a new forward, with Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud and Rangers Alfredo Morelos both reported targets for Palace.

At this point, just getting another striker in will be a positive for Palace, but it is disappointing that a move for Gabigol looks to be dead.
