Gabriel Barbosa will return to Inter "more mature" and hopes to make his mark on Europe in 2017-18.
Following a big-money move from Santos, a disappointing debut season in which he started just one match and only scored one goal reached its lowest point on the penultimate weekend of Serie A.
The 20-year-old Brazil international later apologised for his actions and has vowed to put in maximum effort to prove a success, despite his future at San Siro remaining uncertain with a loan away from the club rumoured to be sealed before the start of the season.
"Every new season generates a great expectation on our part, from the people who follow us," said Gabriel in quotes reported by Globo Esporte.
"It will be another year in Europe for me and I believe that I will be more prepared, more mature in order to play at my best.
"I hope this evolution can be shown on and off the pitch. I believe that.
"Even during the break, I made a point of staying in good physical and mental shape.
"I did physical work during this period to get back to Europe well. Now I will continue this and achieve my best physical and technical form in the season that will come."
