According to O Dia, Marcos Braz and Gabriel Barbosa are not having one of their best years. Flamengo's vice president of football is facing questions from fans and political supporters of Rodolfo Landim. In turn, striker Gabigol spent three long months without scoring goals during matches, which resulted in him being placed on the bench.

Furthermore, throughout this year, Marcos Braz and Gabigol joined forces. involved in a disagreement that shook the relationship between the player and the manager. This has led to a situation of exhaustion, to the point where Flamengo's squad now only maintains strictly necessary interactions with the club's vice-president of football.


With his popularity falling, Marcos Braz has lost a large part of its political influence. The change of command in Flamengo's football department, something that previously seemed unthinkable, began to be demanded by Rodolfo Landim's allies. To try to regain his influence, Marcos Braz is willing to renew his contract with Gabigol, given the difficult circumstances the attacker currently faces.


The expectation is that this renewal can re-establish a positive relationship with the leader of the red and black squad and, thus, rebuild his political strength with Landim. Gabriel Barbosa has a contract with Flamengo valid until December 2024 and expressed his desire to remain at the club until he turns 35.

Flamengo, in turn, seeks to avoid a situation similar to that of Bruno Henrique, who left negotiations to renew his contract until the last year and faced strong competition. There is a risk that another club will make an advantageous proposal and sign a pre-contract with Gabigol, which would result in him leaving Flamengo free of charge at the beginning of 2025.


The big dilemma lies in the way this renovation is being led by Marcos Braz. So far, he has not attempted to negotiate the player's requests, which include a significant salary increase, which would place him among the highest paid players in South America. Furthermore, the offer is for a five-year contract, precisely at the moment most challenging of Gabigol's career since his arrival at the club.

Internally, even Rodolfo Landim expressed surprise at the concessions made by Marcos Braz to "Predestinado" and questioned the format of the negotiation. Landim also faces demands from other members of Flamengo's Football Council and groups that support his management.

If Landim decides to intervene, as he did in the renewal of Diego Alves, this could trigger a conflict between Flamengo and Gabigol's team, making the renewal even more difficult and distant. Furthermore, this would further undermine Marcos Braz's authority at the club. In short, the situation of Marcos Braz and Gabigol at Flamengo is delicate, with political and contractual challenges that need to be overcome. The future of the relationship between the vice-president of football and the club's star striker remains uncertain, as Flamengo seeks a solution that benefits all parties involved.
