The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decided to challenge the panel that gave effect suspension for Gabigol. Therefore, the Flamengo striker is free to play and will be selected for this Saturday's game (20), against Criciúma, in Brasília, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão.


Therefore, the CAS decision partially accepted the Union's request to annul Gabigol's process. Therefore, without challenging the suspensive effect, the decision remains valid and the player is released until the final judgment. Flamengo and the player have already been notified about the decision.


Understand


In the last three days, after a request from attacker's defense, the court decided to release the athlete to continue active. The allegation is that the player could not have his career harmed by a technical issue in the trial. The CAS made official this Friday the partial annulment of the process, maintaining the suspensive effect on the athlete, but changing the panel of referees.

Punished in Brazil in March by Anti-Doping Sports Court of Justice (TJD-AD) , Gabigol decided to appeal to the CAS. In the Swiss court, the judging panel is made up of three arbitrators: one appointed by the athlete's defense, one by the CAS and theoretically one by the Union.


However, the Brazilian government requested the annulment of the process with the argument that he was not properly notified and, therefore, did not appoint an arbitrator for the trial. Thus, at the time of the suspensive effect, on April 30, and until this Friday there were two representatives from CAS and one from the player. With the annulment, the two arbitrators appointed by the court, Dolf Segaar and James Drake, resigned.

The Union will have until the 29th to appoint a representative to the new panel. CAS will also appoint a new arbitrator. These two, as indicated by Gabigol, will decide on maintaining the suspensive effect and will subsequently judge the case, which should take place by October.

Flamengo has been acting more cautiously this season in relation to the movement in the transfer market. So far, few signings have been made, among them the arrival of striker Juninho, from Qarabag, in Azerbaijan.


However, the player's situation at the Rio de Janeiro club may be about to change. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, two teams from Saudi Arabia are interested in signing the player in the next transfer window.


SAUDI CLUBS ANALYZE LOAN


Clubs Al-Riyadh and Najran SC have formalized inquiries to Mais Querido , with the intention of acquiring the striker on loan. According to the information, both clubs indicated the possibility of paying a financial compensation “considered advantageous” to the Brazilian club, if the agreement is completed.

The red-black board, given the scenario , is studying the viability of the negotiation. The athlete's performance and planning for the rest of the season are factors that are being taken into account by the directors.


JUNINHO IS INTERESTED IN THE TRANSFER

According to Casagrande, Juninho has shown interest in playing in Saudi football and is open to a deal with one of the two teams. However, the player's representatives believe that the negotiations will not be easy, especially due to the demands and conditions imposed by Mengão .

Wednesday (02) was marked by intense movements behind the scenes at Flamengo. Striker Pedro, the club's number 9, stood out in the news after rumors of a possible negotiation involving the player. The interest in his departure, initially published by the UOL portal, was promptly denied by the red-black board, which issued an official statement denying the story.


In addition to the repercussion of the news, Pedro stood out for a relevant feat: he is currently the only Brazilian player to have reached the mark of 70 or more goals in the last three years , consolidating his name as one of the most lethal in national football.


CLUB BOARD MAINTAINS POSITION


The club's initial position is to keep Pedro in the squad , with the player at coach Filipe Luís' disposal for the rest of the season. However, the board does not rule out evaluating offers that may be received for the striker, as well as for other players in the squad.

Internally, the board recognizes the athlete's value on the international scene and understands that a good offer could change future plans. The possible departure, however, would depend on financial and strategic factors , respecting the mutual interest between club and player.


PEDRO'S STAFF SEES FAVORABLE SCENARIO

While the club remains cautious, the player's staff is optimistic about the transfer market. As Coluna do Fla has learned, there is an expectation that foreign clubs will make offers for Pedro in the next transfer window, which could further increase speculation about a possible exit.

The striker's good moment, combined with his impressive numbers, means he is being closely watched by foreign clubs, especially in Europe and Saudi Arabia, markets that tend to move large numbers.
