Gabigol's future at Flamengo gained a new chapter. On Friday (28), the striker refused a new offer for an extra season to renew his contract. The molds did not please the representatives and everything indicates that the exit is a matter of time. Walter Casagrande also imagines this way. For the former player, Gabriel Barbosa is not in the board's plans within what was offered to the attacker. Casão believes that number 99 has lost his way in recent years, putting football in the background.
“I think his cycle is over at Flamengo. Even because of the incompatibility he created with the fans and the club. Since being a Rapper, Lil Gabi... from then on he didn't play ball anymore. There were some flashes, but after he split between being a football player and an influencer...it ended”, said Casagrande, on UOL Esporte.
“There are other players who jumped on this bandwagon and ended up falling because football needs of focus. When you share it with other things you are no longer focused on scoring goals or deciding games. So, that was his biggest mistake. Did you wear the Corinthians shirt? He finished. There the great incompatibility was created. And it is a direct collaboration with Tite, as he has not liked Gabriel for years”, added Casão. According to ge.com, Flamengo offered a one-year contract, until the end of 2025, and a salary increase of almost 50%. Despite the good salary increase, the short contract period did not please the 27-year-old player's representatives at all.
Betting that Gabigol will be able to resume his focus on a change of scenery, Casagrande says that the striker would be an excellent hiring. In an adjusted team, the commentator foresees the resumption of his success on the field.
“If Gabriel takes the extra field that is in his life, changes teams and is motivated to score goals, he will play a lot ball. He's a center forward, young, but Flamengo doesn't care anymore, neither does he. There's no more time for him there. In one year, he guarantees 18, 19, 20 goals. Ensures. I don't rule out Palmeiras taking Gabriel. I don’t rule it out,” he says.
The red and black fans eagerly await the outcome of the negotiations

Flamengo continues negotiating with Lazio in Italy, the terms of the midfielder's loan Marcos Antônio. One of the main points of discussion between the clubs is the mandatory purchase clause, which the Italian club wants to impose if the player plays in 50% of the matches during the loan period. Rubro-Negro, in turn, did not accept this condition and is trying to adjust the definition of "games" to this goal.
This lack of definition has been one of the main obstacles in negotiations, as Flamengo seeks greater flexibility in the conditions that would force the athlete to purchase. Another important point under discussion is the value of the purchase option. The expectation is that Flamengo will pay between 5 and 6 million euros (approximately R$30.4 to R$36.4 million at current prices), in addition to additional bonuses, to acquire Marcos Antônio permanently.
FLAMENGO AND ITS DEFINITION BY THE NEW REINFORCEMENT
Flamengo is carefully evaluating the numbers involved in the transaction. The club seeks to balance investments to reinforce the squad without compromising its finances. Marcos Antônio is a young midfielder who stood out in European football. A graduate of Athletico-PR's youth teams, he transferred to Estoril, in Portugal, before arriving at Lazio, in Italy. His technical ability and game vision caught the attention of Flamengo, who see the player as a potential reinforcement for the team led by Tite.
Negotiations between Flamengo and Lazio should continue in the coming days. The expectation is that both parties will reach an agreement that is satisfactory to everyone involved. Meanwhile, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market, looking for reinforcements that can contribute to the continuation of the season.
In addition to a midfielder, Flamengo analyzed other positions in the last transfer window and continues to keep an eye on the market to reinforce the squad

Behind the scenes at Flamengo are busy looking for reinforcements for next season. The Rio club, always attentive to market opportunities, is now focusing on signing midfielder Marcos Antônio, currently at Lazio, in Italy. In addition to him, there are other names on the agenda, but which have not yet been leaked to the press.
Directors Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, responsible for Flamengo's negotiations, will soon embark for Europe. The report found that the English capital, London, is on the itinerary, suggesting that directors are keeping an eye on more than one player and that talks could involve other European clubs besides Lazio.
MARCOS ANTONIO IS A PRIORITY MÁXIMA
Marcos Antônio is 24 years old and has already accepted the proposal from Flamengo for a one-year loan. The young midfielder, who stood out in European football, welcomes the opportunity to wear the red and black shirt and return to Brazil to play for one of the country's biggest clubs. However, the negotiation is not simple and there are still pending issues to be resolved with the Italian club.
The main obstacle to completing the loan are the triggers that would determine the purchase obligation at the end of the period. Lazio wants to ensure that Flamengo commits to buying the player permanently if some goals are achieved during the loan. The red-black leaders will travel to Rome to try to adjust these details and close the agreement.
Casagrande advises that the attacker plays in a structured team to regain good football

Casagrande does not welcome the possibility of Gabigol playing for Corinthians. Taking into account Timão's current financial problems, the former player believes that, in a short time, the club would be broke with the athlete's presence in the squad. This is because the eventual project presented behind the scenes, with high figures, is incompatible with the current situation behind the scenes.
“Corinthians has R$2 billion in debt. Any financial move you make to hire someone will increase your debt and you don't know if you'll be able to pay it later. They say about Gabriel. If Gabriel comes to Corinthians, Corinthians will break in October. Corinthians ends in October. He won't be able to afford what he promises to Gabriel.”, said Casagrande, on the “Casão Pod Tudo” podcast.
If Gabigol opts for the transfer, Casagrande foresees suffering at Corinthians. As Timão does not have the same environment as Flamengo, there was a sign that the attacker needs another type of scenario to regain his status as a reference in national football.
“He will suffer at Corinthians. The team is not creative, the team is not good... he is unmotivated at Flamengo, the fans are angry with him and rightly so. He scored several goals in titles, Libertadores, Brasileiro, he was top scorer... he was wronged in the 2022 World Cup because he should have gone.”
“He started to have behavior that affected him on the field. Nowadays it is debatable. For him to play again, he has to go to a team that offers a good team and that motivates himself.”, he warned.
