according to information from journalist Julio Miguel Neto, the pressure for striker Gabriel Barbosa to leave Flamengo has increased considerably. The climate at the club is not favorable for the player, with a visibly cold and distant relationship between him and the coaching staff.
Internally, the situation of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, is not the best. Sources indicate that the player has lost strength and influence within the squad, which has led to a significant increase in speculation about his possible departure from the club in the middle of the year.
The board of Flamengo find- divided over the attacker's future. There is a clear divergence of opinions regarding Gabriel's stay, and the recent decision not to allow him to wear the number 10 shirt in the Libertadores generated discomfort among those who manage the athlete's career. This decision was seen as a sign that the club may be willing to negotiate his departure.
WILL FLAMENGO RENEW OR NOT?
The official speech of the Flamengo , transmitted to the general public, is very different from what happens behind the scenes. Publicly, the club may appear to have everything under control, but internally, the situation is much more complicated and tense. Flamengo management has already made it clear that it is open to hearing proposals for the transfer of Gabriel Barbosa. Furthermore, it has already been decided that the contract with the player, who currently wears the number 99 shirt, will not be renewed. The club's stance is to “wash its hands”, waiting for other teams to express interest in the athlete.
On the other hand, Gabriel Barbosa has demonstrated his intention to fulfill his contract with Flamengo. However, given the lack of internal support and the club's desire to negotiate his departure, the striker's future in the Rio team is uncertain and becomes more complicated every day. This situation reveals a disconnect between what is communicated publicly and the behind-the-scenes reality at Flamengo. What we see is a scenario of uncertainty and internal disagreements, which could result in the departure of one of the main names in the current cast.
