According to UOL, Palmeiras once again showed interest in Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, by making a new inquiry to open negotiations with the 27-year-old striker. The information was released by UOL Esporte. The movement of the São Paulo club demonstrates the persistence in bringing the player, who currently defends Flamengo, to reinforce its squad.

Gabigol, known for his ability to score decisive goals and his aggressive playing style, attracted the attention of several clubs throughout his career. A possible transfer to Palmeiras would be a significant addition to the team, which is looking to reinforce its attack for the coming seasons. However, Palmeiras is not the only one interested in counting on the striker's talent.

A NEW INVESTMENT BY GABIGOL

In addition to the Brazilian club, Panathinaikos, from Greece, also showed interest in Gabigol recently. The Greek team carried out a survey for the player, seeking to evaluate the possibility of an international transfer. This European interest could complicate Palmeiras' negotiations, as the Greek offer could be attractive both financially and in terms of international visibility for Gabigol.

Gabigol's career has been marked by ups and downs. Revealed by Santos , the striker stood out in Brazilian football, which guaranteed him a transfer to European football. However, his time at Inter Milan and Benfica was not as successful as expected, and he ended up returning to Brazil, where he found his best football at Flamengo.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
