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.

The "marriage" between Tite and Flamengo officially came to an end this Monday (30), with the announcement of the coach's resignation. Thus, the coach ends his time at Rubro-Negro after 70 games, with a 64.7% success rate, in addition to having won a state title and suffered a disappointing elimination in the Libertadores da América.

Tite took over Flamengo on October 9, 2023, after Jorge Sampaoli left. The former Brazilian national team coach signed a contract until the end of 2024, but his departure comes three months ahead of schedule.



During his time in charge of Flamengo, Tite accumulated 70 matches, totaling 41 wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats. Under his management, the team scored 109 goals and conceded 50. He also led the team to win the Campeonato Carioca undefeated.



Despite a promising start, Flamengo's performances under Tite's command did not please the majority of the fans. The team, which led the Brasileirão for a few rounds, began to oscillate and currently occupies fourth place with 48 points, nine behind leader Botafogo, who has 57.


Elimination in the Libertadores

Three-time champion of the Libertadores, Flamengo entered the 2024 edition as one of the favorites and top seed in Group E. However, the performance of the team in the group stage fell below expectations, resulting in a second-place finish. In the round of 16, Flamengo beat Bolívar (BOL) 2-1 on aggregate, but was eliminated in the quarter-finals after being defeated by Peñarol (URU) without managing to score a goal.

< br> Departure of the Technical Committee

In addition to Tite, the entire technical committee is also leaving Flamengo. Among the professionals leaving the club are assistants Cleber Xavier, Matheus Bachi, César Sampaio and Vinícius Bergantin, physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian and performance analyst Lucas Oliveira.
