Even with Yuri Alberto and Pedro Raul in the squad, Corinthians maintains interest in Gabigol, Flamengo. As Fla's number 10 has a contract until December, Itaquera's team could offer a pre-contract in the middle of the year to have Gabi in January, free of charge. Another possibility is to negotiate with Mengão to conclude the operation in July.


This second option is more complex. The information was released by journalist Samir Carvalho. However, it is worth remembering that Landim guaranteed the athlete's stay at the club.


“They actually told me that there is interest from Corinthians in a pre-contract with Gabigol in the middle of the year, and if possible, Corinthians would try to reach an agreement with Flamengo so as not to wait until 2025", reported the UOL journalist.



GABIGOL'S BAD PHASE AT FLAMENGO

Currently, Gabigol has just two goals for Flamengo in 2024 and is in reserve under the command of Tite. Meanwhile, starter Pedro has already scored 11 times and is in great harmony with the coach.


Despite this, the red and black fans still maintain hope in Gabi's recovery, as every time he is called by Tite to replace Pedro, he is applauded. However, on the field, the player still faces difficulties.

Flamengo will have two important absences for the duel against Bahia, this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . Defender Léo Pereira and full-back Alex Sandro received their third yellow card in the goalless draw against Cruzeiro and are serving an automatic suspension.


Alex Sandro was cautioned in the 11th minute for a hard foul on Christian without the ball. Léo Pereira was booked for fouling Kaio Jorge, accumulating infractions that resulted in a suspension . The absence of the duo forces changes in the red-and-black defense.


PROBABLE LINEUP


With the absences, coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes. The likely starting lineup includes Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Viña (or Ayrton Lucas); Jorginho (Allan or De La Cruz), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata (or Carrascal), and Pedro . Leading the table with 55 points, Flamengo is looking to open up a gap over Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, who are closely tied.

BAHIA ARRIVES FOR THE GAME WITH CASUALTIES


On the other side, Bahia faces a crisis of absences. There are 13 confirmed absences—between suspensions and injuries—in addition to doubts like Ramos Mingo, who was injured in the last match. The Esquadrão, currently sixth with 40 points , will face an even greater challenge against the championship leader.

Bahia will have great difficulties when facing Flamengo this Sunday (5), in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 13 absences, a record number of the season , for the clash at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).


The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.


Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.


COMPLETE LIST OF ABSENCES
  • Goalkeeper: João Paulo (knee injury)
  • Full-backs: Santiago Arias (suspended), Luciano Juba (suspended and muscle injury)
  • Defenders: Gabriel Xavier (suspended), Ramos Mingo (thigh injury), David Duarte (physical transition), Kanu (return from surgery)
  • Midfield: Rodrigo Nestor (suspended), Caio Alexandre (muscle injury), Erick (transition from surgery)
  • Forwards: Sanabria (suspended), Erick Pulga (muscle injury), Ruan Pablo (injury)
PROBABLE LINEUP

With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.
