The big topic on the red and black news this Friday (28) was Gabigol. The striker's agent, Júnior Pedroso, revealed that renewing his contract with Flamengo is difficult and the tendency is for the almost five-year relationship to end. When asked about the number 99 shirt, the biggest idol in the club's history, Zico, preferred not to talk about the topic. Gabigol's possible departure generates speculation and concern among Flamengo fans.

“Today I only talk about the Seleção or Copa América. Then, I have nothing to comment”, said Zico, in conversation with journalist Isabelle Costa, directly from the United States, where he was following the Brazilian team’s game. Quintino's Galinho went to the Allegiant Stadium, in Las Vegas, where the five-time champion faced Paraguay, in the second round of Group D of the competition. Zico's stance in not commenting on Gabigol reinforces the sensitivity of the topic.



At the end of May, when Gabigol was caught wearing the Corinthians shirt in a barbecue, Zico was also approached to talk about the subject. However, the Flamengo idol was also firm and said: “no chance” of talking about the topic. The situation generated great repercussion and discussion among Brazilian football fans and experts. The image of Gabigol with the rival shirt was one of the most controversial moments of his career at the club.



On that occasion, Gabigol lost Zico's legendary number 10 shirt as punishment . In addition, the attacker received a fine of 10% of his salary as a penalty. Shortly before, the player had been suspended for two years due to alleged fraud in an anti-doping test, but Flamengo managed to obtain a suspension effect so that the athlete could play for Tite's team. These episodes show the challenges faced by Gabigol at Flamengo recently.


With a contract until December this year, Gabigol is not expected to renew and is in the sights of clubs such as Palmeiras, Corinthians , Cruzeiro and Grêmio. Therefore, there is doubt whether the striker will still play for Flamengo. After all, if he plays two more matches in the Brasileirão, he will not be able to transfer to another team in 2024. The striker's situation is closely monitored by interested clubs and the red and black fans, who hope for a positive outcome for both parties.

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.

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.

CLUBS MONITOR SPECIFIC POINTS IN GABIGOL’S FUTURE AND ARE AFRAID ABOUT NEGOTIATIONS

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.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN 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.
