Gabriel Barbosa will be used by Flamengo until the end of the year. After rumors that the striker would no longer wear the Rubro-Negra shirt until the end of his contract on December 31, 2024, in contact with journalist Pablo Raphael from Gazeta do Urubu, a Mais Querido director denied the hypothesis despite admitting that the climate within the club is not the best for the striker.
“I don't know where They removed this story about him not playing again until the end of the year. The atmosphere isn't the best behind the scenes between them (Tite and Gabigol), but it's not true that he won't play anymore”, defined the Flamengo director. The striker's situation continues, however, to raise questions among the fans, with Gabriel Barbosa being passed over even for Carlinhos in Tite's teams.
Gabigol is one of the greatest players in the history of Flamengo, scorer of very important goals, including in all the Libertadores finals in which the club participated with the number 99 on the field, which guaranteed two major cups competition from the South American continent. Furthermore, Gabriel Barbosa was the competition's top scorer on two occasions, 2019 and 2021.
The striker will also have a chance to demonstrate his skills next Thursday (26) against Peñarol. This is because, this Sunday (22), the striker trained among the Flamengo starters for the match valid for the Libertadores da América. Rubro-Negro lost the first game 1-0 at Maracanã and needs a victory by two goals to qualify directly.
In training, the team drafted by Matheus Bacchi, who was in the Rio de Janeiro with the main group while Tite traveled to Porto Alegre for the clash against Grêmio was: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Léo Ortiz, Gerson, Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique and Gabigol. The number 99, however, did not do all the work with the first team, having replaced De La Cruz who was the starter for most of the training.

Tite's situation in charge of Flamengo is increasingly complicated. Hired in October 2023, the coach arrived at the club with high expectations. His track record, which includes leading the Brazilian team in two World Cups and rumors of interest from European teams, made fans and management expect a winning cycle. However, just over a year after his arrival, Tite's stay at Flamengo is at risk, and the club is already beginning to analyze options to replace him.
Behind the scenes, the expectation is that Regardless of the results, Tite is unlikely to remain for the 2025 season. The board's focus, at the moment, is to assess whether he will be able to last until the end of this year or whether an early exchange will be inevitable. The lack of confidence in his work is evident, and there is already open talk about possible replacements.
One of the most mentioned names to replace Tite is that of Portuguese coach Luís Castro. Recently, Castro was fired from Al-Nassr, a club in Saudi Arabia, and his name has already been mentioned among possible candidates to take over Flamengo. Luís Castro is an experienced coach, with experience in several European and Arab clubs, and appears to be willing to listen to proposals for new projects.
According to information gathered by Fabrício Lopes, journalist for the portal O Dia, intermediaries who represent Flamengo have already contacted Luís Castro's staff. This initial contact indicates that Flamengo is seriously surveying the coaching market and considers hiring the Portuguese player as a real option. The idea of having a foreign coach, especially someone with Castro's CV, has been gaining momentum in the corridors of Gávea.
