Since arriving at Flamengo, the striker has become a fundamental part of the team
|
According to GE, the recent negotiation between Gabigol and Flamengo brought to light a series of disagreements and frustrations that could mark the end of a successful partnership. At 27 years old, the striker felt discredited by the club's new proposal, which offered just one more year on his contract, a common practice for athletes considered to be at the end of their career.
Gabigol, who turns 28 in August , was bothered by Flamengo's lack of appreciation. In October last year, both parties had agreed to a contract extension with a substantial salary increase and a significant amount in gloves, almost R$50 million. However, the club did not honor its commitment and presented a new offer with just one more year on the contract, which deeply irritated the player.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN NEGOTIATIONS FOR GABIGOL
< The attacker wanted stability and wanted to put down roots in Flamengo, a club with which he has a huge identification. His goal was to think about retirement in the long term, but the proposal for just one more season was received like a bombshell, shaking the relationship that seemed solid. Gabigol expected a long-term contract, even if it was less than five years, but the short offer showed that Flamengo did not consider him part of the sporting project for the coming seasons.The 50% increase in salary was not enough to satisfy the attacker. He wanted security and appreciation, something that the proposal did not offer. The relationship, which seemed unbreakable, is now approaching its end with resentments exposed. The situation made it clear that, for Gabigol, recognition and stability at the club are as important as the financial aspects.
For now there is no formalized proposal

Clubs interested in Gabriel Barbosa, Gabigol, have faced two crucial points in negotiations: the player's high salary and a trial for attempted fraud in an anti-doping test. These factors are shaping possible transactions involving the Flamengo striker. The financial issue is one of the biggest obstacles.
Gabigol has a high salary, which naturally excludes several clubs from negotiations. This financial factor serves as a filter, limiting the number of teams that can bear the costs involved in signing the player. In addition to the financial issue, there is another significant challenge: Gabigol is involved in a trial for attempted fraud in an anti-doping test. This case has generated apprehension among interested clubs, who are paying attention to legal developments before moving forward in any negotiations.

These two points - high salary and judgment - have a direct impact on the market. The clubs that still show interest in Gabigol need to carefully evaluate these factors to decide whether or not to move forward in negotiations. The financial situation is already a challenge in itself, and the legal uncertainty adds an extra level of complexity.
Some clubs are still interested in Gabigol, despite the challenges. They evaluate the potential return that the player can bring, both in terms of performance on the field and financial return through marketing and shirt sales. However, the combination of the high cost and the player's legal situation requires thorough analysis and careful risk management.

The decision to use Flamengo's facilities reinforces the good relationship between the two clubs, which remains strong and friendly.

Gabigol has a historical relationship with Santos
|
According to Samir Carvalho, Gabigol strikes Flamengo, was the target of an ambitious proposal from Santos, its training club. A source within Peixe confirmed that the black and white team offered a monthly salary of R$2 million to have the top scorer back in the squad. However, the desire not to compete in Series B of the Brazilian Championship weighed on the player's decision, and he chose to refuse the offer.
Santos, who face the harsh reality of Series B, saw in Gabigol a chance to leverage the team's technical quality and increase the chances of a quick return to the elite of national football. The proposal of R$2 million per month was considered a significant effort, especially given the club's current financial condition, which has been dealing with several financial and administrative difficulties in recent years.
GABIGOL'S INDEFINITE FUTURE
Gabigol's decision, however, was influenced by his desire to remain in Serie A. At 27 years old, Gabriel Barbosa is at a crucial moment in his career and seeks to remain in evidence on the Brazilian football scene, something that the second division would not provide the same way. The visibility and challenges of Série A weighed more than Peixe's financial offer.
In addition to the Santos proposal, the staff of Gabigol revealed that the striker received an offer of R$3 million per month from another club in Brazil, whose name was not disclosed. This even more generous proposal puts Gabriel in a comfortable position to negotiate his future, being able to opt for a team that better meets his financial and sporting expectations.
