O Flamengo did not change its stance towards Gabigol after Marcos Braz's statements, giving the attacker survival and the possibility of a contract renewal in the attacker's last two months in Mengão. Despite declaring that the athlete benefits from the arrival of Filipe Luís to try to remain, he did not move due to the player remaining.
< i>“With Filipe Luís, you have new air, a new north. We see that there may be a contract renewal”, said Marcos Braz in an interview with journalist Raisa Simplicio. In practice, however, nothing has changed internally between Flamengo and Gabigol, according to journalist Rodrigo Mattos. In his column on Uol, the reporter guarantees that there is no movement in this direction.
“Despite the recent ownership and declaration by Marcos Braz, there was no change in Gabigol's situation regarding a possible renewal. Remembering, the board had proposed a one-year extension with an increase. The player didn’t accept it”, he recalls.
Even though you realize evolution of Gabigol, the understanding is that there is still no room for a change in decision.
“There was no new movement from the Flamengo board regarding negotiations with the player. The internal assessment is that he is evolving on the field. In other words, at the moment there is nothing that justifies a change of stance”, writes Rodrigo.
Gabigol reaches a milestone at Flamengo with Filipe Luís
With Tite, Gabigol had very few minutes on the field. But the arrival of Filipe Luís reinvigorated his last months at Flamengo. The striker is once again a starter, and in the first few games, he even played well again, but saw the VAR cancel his goal against Corinthians for offside, a game in which he almost scored a great goal.
Being placed To play, Gabigol completed 300 games for Flamengo against Bahia, but even with Filipe Luís' fundamental role in their lineups, Gabi's situation remains undefined. It is worth remembering that Marcos Braz's statement came on the eve of the election in Rio de Janeiro, when the president was unable to be re-elected for the position of councilor.
