It seems that Santos' days are numbered in Gávea. This is because the archer is currently Flamengo's third goalkeeper and is increasingly running out of space. The athlete could leave the club in 2024. According to journalist Pablo Raphael, from Gazeta do Urubu, Athletico-PR is interested in having him as the main option, especially if Bento leaves the club.

However , negotiations with Flamengo may present challenges in the process. The possibility of Flamengo negotiating Matheus Cunha, Argentine Agustín Rossi's immediate reserve, could happen as early as next season, as the young academy player has been watched by clubs in Europe, even more so after being called up for the Brazilian national team.

If Cunha leaves Ninho do Urubu, Santos will return to compete for a place directly with Rossi and could gain new chances with the possible arrival of Tite, who called up the athlete for the Brazilian team while he was at CBF. In the last match in which he was used at the Carioca club, it was in a 1-0 victory against Corinthians at Maracanã.

It is interesting to note that Santos, with a contract with Flamengo until December 2026, is also attracting the attention of clubs like Grêmio and Bahia. The possible influence of Renato Portaluppi, known for rehabilitating players considered out of shape at other clubs, could be a determining factor in negotiations with the Gauchos.


The arrival of Jorge Sampaoli brought some changes to the goalkeeper position at the club. Saints. With the rise of 22-year-old Matheus Cunha, who is praised for his ability with his feet, something Santos were struggling with, Santos gradually lost space and became the immediate reserve. Furthermore, the signing of Agustín Rossi, formerly of Boca Juniors and Al-Nassr, who has not yet debuted for Flamengo, seems to further complicate the scenario for Santos

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
