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.

Episode wearing the Corinthians shirt cheers up the São Paulo club

Despite the situation delicate financial situation, Corinthians considers signing Gabigol in 2025 as an investment. 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.

In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season.
