0Forward Gabigol has been going through his worst phase with the Flamengo Mantle. This is because the player has had a goal drought. Rubro Negro's number 10 has not been in the net for 12 games. The last time he scored a goal was on August 20th, against Coritiba. Furthermore, the player has been quite undisciplined on the field and has received silly cards.
In recent weeks, the English newspaper The Mirror published that Manchester United (ING) would be looking for a new striker to reinforce the cast. As a result, Gabigol's name was mentioned in the team from the northwest of England to fill the position.
To count on Gávea's number 10, the "Red Devil" would be willing to offer Antony on loan. Furthermore, according to the newspaper, Milan (ITA) would also be interested in the Mais Querido player. However, Rubro Negro's football vice-president, Marcos Braz, denied the rumors.
The player's contract renewal with Flamengo is close to being completed, however, there are still some impasses to be resolved. Gabigol will receive a contract for another 5 years and a salary increase. However, the player's agents are already targeting foreign football.
The striker's staff awaits proposals from abroad to discuss whether it is worth Gabigol leaving Flamengo in 2024. Therefore, it is possible that a proposal will arrive of Europe for the athlete. However, he has not demonstrated all the football that led him to be signed by Rubro Negro in 2019.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Bruno Henrique takes the lead in Flamengo's attack after injuries to teammates
|
0With several casualties in the offensive sector, Bruno Henrique, 33 years old, will be the main name in Flamengo's attack in the next matches. The striker, who stands out for his long-standing partnership with Arrascaeta, believes that this harmony will be fundamental for the team to maintain its good performance in the competitions it competes in, such as the Brazilian Championship, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
"We are the players at the front. Arrascaeta is a classic midfielder, who knows how to create plays and finish. Being close to him increases the chances of scoring and assisting. With his quality and the more than six years we have played together, we understand each other just by looking at each other", stated Bruno Henrique in an interview with ESPN.
Flamengo will no longer have Pedro and Everton Cebolinha until the end of the season. Furthermore, Michael and Luiz Araújo are only expected to return to the pitch in the final stretch of 2024. Gabigol, who also faces physical problems, has been used less frequently. With this series of absences, the leading role falls to Bruno Henrique, who has the mission of leading the red and black attack at a decisive moment of the season.
To make up the offensive sector, Mais Querido also has newcomers Gonzalo Plata and Carlinhos, as well as young promises from the club's youth categories. Despite the losses, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique's experience and quality will be enough to keep the team competitive in competitions.
