ATTENTION! FLAMENGO ACCEPTS TEAM PROPOSAL AND IS CLOSE TO SELLING A STAR

Gabigol's name has been linked to Corinthians again . The striker, who has previously been involved in controversy at Flamengo due to images in the black and white jersey, now appears as a possible reinforcement for the São Paulo club in 2026.

At Cruzeiro, Gabigol is facing a turbulent time . With Kaio Jorge in excellent form and a starter in the Raposa attack, the striker has lost his place in Leonardo Jardim's team, which has generated dissatisfaction on the player's part.

According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians is interested in signing Gabigol, but to make the deal happen, they would need to release Memphis Depay . The Dutch striker earns around R$6 million per month, while Gabigol's salary is over R$2 million.

CONTRACTUAL CHALLENGES

Another critical point is Gabigol's contract with Cruzeiro, valid until 2028. For the player to be able to transfer, Corinthians would need to negotiate financial compensation with Raposa, in addition to adjusting its payroll.

GABIGOL'S TRAJECTORY

Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided four assists.

With Betano leading the Brasileirão and a place in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals assured, Flamengo is reaping the rewards of a structured plan put together by its board. The synergy between management and the coaching staff has been crucial in maintaining a strong squad and achieving consistent performances on the field.

Given the team's strong performance, the club's board is focused on ensuring the continuity of coach Filipe Luís. The coach has been receiving inquiries from the international market, but so far, he maintains his preference for remaining with the Rio de Janeiro club.

In addition to planning Filipe Luís's contract renewal, Flamengo's management is intensifying its case-by-case evaluation of the squad's players. Among them is striker Pedro, the team's number 9, who has been returning to form after a period of instability.

PEDRO LEAVES THE FUTURE OPEN

Embroiled in recent controversies at Gávea, Pedro has yet to decide his future at the club. According to information from the Bolavip website, the athlete has not ruled out considering offers from other teams in the next transfer window. Currently, the player's priority is to find the best option for his career and financially, without limiting his available options.

WHAT DID GAZETA DO URUBU FIND?

Flamengo 's board intends to renew contracts with Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta in 2025. Pedro and Rossi are expected to have their contracts renewed next season. Currently, there is no sign of dissatisfaction with the Mengão striker.

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (18) for the most important game of the season so far: the clash against Estudiantes, in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores da América, at Maracanã. Despite the maximum concentration on the knockout stage, the club still has to deal with movements in the transfer market. Defender Léo Ortiz has once again been the target of speculation and may receive a new offer from European football.

Nottingham Forest Prepares for Raid

According to information from the 'bolavip' portal, Nottingham Forest (ENG) is expected to formalize a proposal in the next transfer window . The defender is already attracting interest from several clubs, and the club's board understands that it will be difficult to hold on to him for long. The English club is controlled by billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, which increases its investment power.

INTEREST OF EUROPEAN GIANTS

In addition to Nottingham, clubs such as Napoli, Juventus, and Roma have already made informal inquiries . So far, the only concrete offer has come from RB Leipzig, but talks have not progressed. Flamengo 's board maintains its position of not negotiating the player.

REINFORCEMENT IN THE LIBERTADORES

On the field, Léo Ortiz is confirmed among the starters this Thursday. The defender returns after serving an automatic suspension in the Brasileirão and will be a key player against Estudiantes , at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Besides him, Varela and Bruno Henrique are also available for Filipe Luís again after being rested against Juventude. Alex Sandro and Jorginho remain doubtful and will have their fitness reassessed shortly before the match.
