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.

Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, is experiencing a period of uncertainty at Cruzeiro. A reserve under Leonardo Jardim, the striker has already publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of minutes. " I'm looking for minutes, he (Leonardo Jardim) knows that ," he said after scoring the winning goal against Bahia last Monday (15).
According to information from journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians appears as a possible destination for the number 9 , former Flamengo player, who could be negotiated in 2026 if nothing changes until the end of the season.
The current Corinthians board sees Gabigol as an interesting opportunity, especially when compared to Dutchman Memphis Depay. According to the survey, Depay earns R$6 million per month, while the Cruzeiro striker's salary is R$2.4 million . Furthermore, the Brazilian is 31 years old, two years younger than the European.
The "courtship" between Corinthians and Gabigol isn't recent . There have been at least three previous negotiations. Internally at Cruzeiro, there's an understanding that the player's departure could be beneficial for both parties, as he arrived as a star and now plays a supporting role.
Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals , and provided four assists.
An idol for the Rubro-Negro, the striker wrote one of the most successful chapters in Flamengo's recent history. Between 2019 and 2023, he played 308 matches, scored 161 goals, and won 13 titles , including two Copa Libertadores da América titles. His most memorable moment came in the 2019 final against River Plate, when he scored two decisive goals, cementing his nickname "Immortal Rubro-Negro."
Labor court judge sees 'delaying intent' in Mengão's decision to appeal against employee who was on duty on the day of the fire

Flamengo lost again in the lawsuit filed by Benedito Ferreira , the club's former security guard who worked during the fire at Ninho do Urubu in 2019. In the first instance, the professional won the right to receive compensation of R$600,000, including R$100,000 for moral damages and R$500,000 for material damages , in addition to a lifetime pension until the age of 78. Rubro-Negro can still appeal the decision.
Labor judge Bruno Andrade de Macedo imposed a 2% fine when he rejected Flamengo 's motion for clarification against the previous ruling. According to the judge, the motions were used with a "clearly delaying intent," unjustifiably delaying the delivery of the judicial decision and violating the principles of speed and efficiency.
Benedito Ferreira helped rescue at least three victims during the Ninho do Urubu fire, which killed 10 young people from Flamengo 's youth academy in February 2019. He was fired in 2022, after working at the club since 2008, and filed two lawsuits against the institution , one while still an employee, demanding labor, social security and civil rights.
The main allegation is that Flamengo failed to register his dismissal with the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) due to the fire . The judge emphasized that, even if Benedito were reinstated in a different role, this would not eliminate his right to a monthly pension, considering the total reduction in his capacity to perform his previous role.
The case included a medical examination that found that Benedito suffers from Depressive Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, and Panic Disorder , with worsening symptoms and suicidal ideation. The report also concluded that the pathologies are occupational in origin, with a causal or concausal link between the injuries and his work at Flamengo.
The judge also considered Benedito's dismissal a "wrongful act," as the club was aware of the medical treatment required for the occupational injury . The expert stated that the security guard is "unfit with restrictions for the work he performed at the Defendant or any similar work," demonstrating a loss of fitness for his original role.
