West Ham have been the presumed destination for awhile, but I would assume he might be worried about his playing time there, given their signings this summer. This transfer isn't happening for us, realistically, but if it did it would be an excellent signing (on loan).
A creative, dynamic, goal-scoring winger is exactly what we need, and Gabriel checks those boxes and more. Simply put, the kid is quality, albeit a bit arrogant, and could play all across the frontline. His record at Inter might not be the best, but the club was a terrible environment for his first foray outside of Brazil and the league is insanely tactical. He'd fit in much more in the fast-paced intensity of the PL, and he'd get plenty of playing time with us.
This is a no-brainer for me. Please let this happen somehow. The highlights:

Erick Thohir is the chairman and minority owner of Inter. He also happens to be the owner of DC United, where Jason Levien is the managing general owner. Levien is one of The Americans, if you're unaware.
Hmmmmmm.
Seems awfully easy for the two of them to just sit down and hash this out personally. Levien is a former sports agent, after all. I know there are many clubs in line for 'Gabigol' but we definitely should have a chance, especially if he's being sold and we sell Siggy.
Hopefully Altman's computer knows what the Brasileirão is, and he's all over this one.

Gabriel turned down every other offer he received, including us supposedly, due to concerns over playing time/exposure. I'd assume we'd fall under the latter umbrella. But a sticking point for Inter in negotiations was getting his wages covered, and Sporting aren't about to do that.
However, they "will be required to supply the 20-year-old with housing and a car during his stay at the Estádio José Alvalade under Jorge Jesus." So that's one ridiculous link off the board, Seri soon to follow, going to Barcelona:
