Remarkable name in the history of Flamengo, the striker Gabigolmust say goodbye to the club in December, when your contract comes to an end. Bahia, controlled by the City group, appears as a strong competitor to sign the center forward next season, seeing Gabriel Barbosa as a key player for 2025. The information was released by influencer Paparazzo Rubro-Negro.
In addition to Bahia, three other Brazilian clubs are closely monitoring Gabigol's situation: Palmeiras, Cruzeiro and Corinthians. Palmeiras tried to negotiate a pre-contract with the player in 2024, but Gabi gave no response, leading president Leila Pereira to withdraw the proposal. However, in January, the scenario could change, as the striker is a name that coach Abel Ferreira likes.
At Cruzeiro, Gabigol is seen as a fundamental piece in the team's reconstruction. Raposa seeks to regain its leading role in national football, and the signing of shirt number 99 from Flamengo would be a sign of strength in the market. At Corinthians, the idea is that Gabriel would form a prominent attacking duo alongside Dutchman Memphis Depay.

Episodes such as the fact that Gabi wore the Corinthians shirt at a party at her home and the praise given to the club's fans during an interview on the Podpah podcast cheer up president Augusto Melo. Recently, Flamengo's football vice-president, Marcos Braz, showed pessimism regarding the top scorer's permanence: “Possible, but little likely”, he stated.
Gabigol has been at Flamengo since 2019 and, in that period, won two Championships Brazilians, two Libertadores, one Copa do Brasil, four Campeonatos Cariocas, one Recopa and two Supercups. However, he is currently the third option in the attack under Tite's command, behind even Carlinhos, a standout in Carioca for Nova Iguaçu.

The clash between Flamengo and Grêmio , scheduled for this Sunday (31), at 4 pm, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship, will be conducted by Paulo Zanovelli . The 35-year-old referee from Minas Gerais is refereeing a game for the Mais Querido for the second time this season . In the first opportunity, against Mirassol, his performance generated criticism due to the excessive stoppages.
In that match, 36 fouls were called, 23 committed by the Red-Blacks and 13 by the opponents. The referee's style worries fans and experts, as the match could lose intensity and effective ball play.
The numbers confirm the trend. In 12 Brasileirão 2025 matches, Zanovelli called 362 fouls, an average of 30.17 fouls per match. This rate is considered high, especially compared to the Premier League , where the average is around 20 fouls per game.
Despite this, the issuing of cards hasn't kept pace with the same intensity. The referee has handed out 54 yellow cards so far, resulting in an average of 4.5 warnings per game , within the national league standard.
Maracanã is preparing for a big party next Sunday (30). With all tickets sold out, the expectation is for more than 60 thousand people present at the stadium . The Nation will be in force after the great 8-0 victory over the victory in the last round.
