Since his arrival at Flamengo in 2019, Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, has not experienced moments of so much uncertainty in his professional career. The red-and-black striker traveled to Switzerland this Wednesday, hoping to defend himself in the lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Doping Control Association. However, upon arriving at the destination, he was informed about the postponement of the trial, which should now only take place in the second half of this year.
With the postponement, negotiations for a possible contract renewal with Flamengo are at a standstill , as well as the chance for proposals to appear for the player, whose contract runs until December this year. The information is from the newspaper O Dia.
Without the security of being able to count on Gabigol, clubs like Cruzeiro and Corinthians are starting to look for other alternatives on the market, leaving the red-black striker in the background or even discarding his signing.
While Cruzeiro moves to reinforce itself, Corinthians still dreams with Gabigol, but the uncertainty about his professional situation makes the Itaquera club look for options. The lack of concrete proposals prevents Gabigol from negotiating a better contract with Flamengo.
Flamengo, in turn, adopts a stance of waiting for both the outcome of the trial and a change in behavior on and off the field to decide on a possible contract extension with the attacker. Internally, the club's football council is against the renewal, but Marcos Braz, vice-president of football, is trying to convince councilors to keep Gabigol at Ninho do Urubu for at least three more seasons.

Pedro's injury was a hard blow for the team, not only because of the impact on performance on the field, but also because of what it means behind the scenes. With a deep and talented cast, Flamengo tends to maintain its competitive level even with absences, thanks to a full bench. However, Pedro's departure raises the question of how the club will fill this gap.
Rumors about possible international reinforcements began to circulate quickly, with names like Memphis Depay, Martial and Mariano Díaz gaining prominence in the press. However, Flamengo's board is taking a cautious approach. According to information from UOL, two main factors are guiding the club's strategy: the performance of the players already available and the budget situation.
Firstly, Flamengo is evaluating the ability of its current players to cover Pedro's absence. Among the possible replacements, Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos are mentioned as viable options. These players have a history of good performance and familiarity with the style of play Flamengo, which could facilitate adaptation and minimize the impact of Pedro's injury.
In addition, the club's financial situation is a crucial point in the decision. With more than R$329 million invested in recent signings, Flamengo has already committed a significant part of its budget. This amount is just a little below the R$360.9 million spent in 2019, when President Rodolfo Landim made large investments. The high financial burden of previous signings implies a more restrictive management of available resources.
Flamengo's board also faces difficulties in relation to the sale of players, which further impacts the budget. Negotiations for transfers of Wesley and Fabrício Bruno did not progress as expected, resulting in a lower than desired performance in player sales. This limits the club's ability to invest in new reinforcements, especially in a competitive market.
The clubs have their new direction in history

On Monday (2), a new commission was formed with the aim of discussing the implementation of Financial Fair Play in Brazil. The group is made up of clubs such as Flamengo and Palmeiras, who are looking for ways to adapt the rule to the particularities of national football. Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, was one of the strongest voices in the discussion. In a blunt statement, she called for more responsibility from club boards in financial management. Pereira highlighted that Financial Fair Play should not be seen just as a rule to be complied with, but as an essential tool to guarantee the sustainability of teams.
Financial Fair Play, created by UEFA, aims to control club spending and ensure that they do not spend more than they earn, promoting more balanced financial management. The idea is to prevent clubs from taking on excessive debt and guarantee a fairer level of competition between teams. The formation of the commission with Flamengo, Palmeiras and other clubs signals a significant step in the attempt to implement these rules more effectively in Brazil. The proposal is to discuss and adjust the rule so that it better fits the reality of Brazilian clubs, which face unique financial challenges.
FLAMENGO HAS "EYES OPEN"The main objective of commission is to establish guidelines that help control club spending without harming growth and investment in football. The intention is to create a balance between the need for investment to improve the teams and the obligation to maintain the financial health of the clubs.
Leila Pereira, in her statement, made an appeal for club boards to be more responsible and transparent in their management. She highlighted that compliance with financial rules must be a priority for all clubs and that it is essential that everyone is committed to more responsible management.

Last Friday (6), Anitta was spotted alongside player Vinicius Souza after his presentation at the NFL. The meeting took place during the 'after' promoted by the singer in São Paulo. Although the romance has not been made official by the parties involved, Vinicius' presence at the event and the frequent interactions between the two on social media raise speculation about a possible relationship.
Since Anitta's recent trip to Greece, the two have frequently interacted in comments on Instagram photos. Previously, actress Bruna Griphao was also mentioned as Anitta's possible affair, but the former BBB member stated that the relationship between them was just friendship.
Vinicius Souza, known as 'Vinição', is a 25-year-old player, 1.87m tall. He began his career at Flamengo, in the youth categories, standing out for his ability to recover balls and initiate offensive plays.
Currently, the player stood out in the 2023/2024 Premier League season, playing for Sheffield United. With a career that includes stints in European football, Vinicius played for Lommel SK in Belgium from 2020 onwards.
The athlete, who has more than 300 thousand followers on Instagram, was married to model Giulia Dantas, with whom he ended the relationship in 2021, shortly after the honeymoon. Vinicius has two children from different mothers and keeps a low profile on social media, sharing few photos with his fans.
