Striker is in negotiations with another Brazilian club and asked for high prices
|
0The Dutch striker Memphis Depay, which is in the sights of Flamengo, but still without an official proposal from the Rio club, responded to Corinthians' offer. According to information from CNN Brasil, the player asked for a higher amount than that initially offered by the São Paulo team. Timão had proposed R$60 million for a two-year contract, which would result in a salary of R$2.5 million per month. Given the request, the club admits the possibility of readjusting the offer.
According to the same source, Corinthians is preparing a second proposal, with a salary increase for Depay. Expectations at Parque São Jorge are positive, as the player has not ruled out the possibility of playing in Brazil — previously, this was seen as a major obstacle to negotiations. Meanwhile, Flamengo, without rushing, analyzes whether it is worth entering the dispute. The player's representatives have already offered the player to Rubro-Negro.
However, a complicating factor for Corinthians is that their sponsor, Esportes da Sorte, is under investigation by the Civil Police of Pernambuco, suspected involvement in money laundering and illegal gaming operations. The company would be responsible for paying R$57 million of the R$60 million allocated to hiring Depay. Despite this problem, the São Paulo club remains determined to close the deal.
While negotiating with Memphis Depay, Corinthians has not yet paid off the third installment of Matheuzinho's purchase from Flamengo. This Wednesday (4), Flamengo activated the bank guarantees of Brax, the company that guaranteed the payment of São Paulo residents in the transaction.
The 'GE' portal reported that the outstanding amount is R$8 million. Even with this pending issue, Corinthians can continue with the attempt to sign Depay, leaving the payment to Flamengo for a later time.
Shirt 99 faces uncertainty at the club with contract nearing the end

0Gabigol continues to be an important figure behind the scenes at Flamengo, despite not being on good terms with coach Tite. With 26 matches in the 2024 season, only three as a starter, and four goals scored, the number 99 has only three months left on his contract with the club, which already allows him to sign a pre-contract with another team. p>
In June, the player received an offer to renew his contract for another year, but he refused. Flamengo's president, Rodolfo Landim, revealed that the offer is still available, highlighting that confidence in Gabigol's recovery is the reason behind this proposal. “When we make a proposal, we analyze the entire context. We believe in Gabriel’s potential and that’s why we offered him a renewal for another year”, explained Landim in an interview with TNT Sports, stating that he still maintains the offer to the player.
The attacker's situation is delicate. With less than six months left on his contract, Gabigol is free to negotiate with other clubs. However, Flamengo showed interest in keeping him, as they have done with other important players in the past, such as Filipe Luís and Bruno Henrique.
According to Landim, the club is not willing to offer a long contract in the past. current performance conditions of the player. “With the performance of 2023 and part of 2024, it is difficult to make a four-year proposal at the requested values”, stated the president, reinforcing that the one-year renewal proposal remains available and that it now depends on the player’s own decision.< /p>
The president also addressed the reasons why Gabigol has not been a choice frequent in the starting lineup. According to Landim, the word "bet" used to describe the renewal proposal may have been strong, but it is justified by the attacker's performance in training. Coach Tite, known for his meritocracy, has opted for Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos due to their better performance in activities and games.
“Tite is a meritocrat par excellence. He chooses who is best in training and games to choose. This transparent process is one of the reasons why he is so respected by the team", concluded Landim.

Red-and-black striker is the target of speculation in the transfer market
|
0This Monday (16), rumors emerged involving Bahia's interest in signing Gabigol, striker from Mais Querido. According to the channel Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Tricolor de Aço would have entered the dispute for Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengojust until December this year. In addition to Bahia, clubs such as Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Santos would also be keeping an eye on the player.
Despite the speculation, the Bahia board was quick to deny any ongoing negotiations to count on the shirt 99 from Mengão. According to the club's leadership, there is no intention of repeating an operation similar to that carried out with Everton Ribeiro.
As soon as news of the supposed interest began to circulate, Bahia tried to clarify the situation. In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season. The information of possible interest, therefore, was directly denied by Tricolor's directors.
Even so, the attacker remains one of the most targeted names in the transfer market for 2025, as he is in the final stretch of contract with Flamengoand you can now sign a pre-contract with any other team.
With Bahia's denial, Corinthians remains the main favorite to sign Gabigol from next year. The possibility of the red-black striker wearing the Timão shirt gains strength, especially after coach Tite appointed Gabigol as the third option for Mengão's attacking command, behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
