Shirt 99 is 'living for today'
|
0One of the hopes of Flamengo fans in the game against Peñarol, a match that could qualify Rubro-Negro for the semi-final stage of the Libertadores, striker Gabigol is uncertain about his future. The 99 shirt has a contract until December, but he refused to offer for another year of Mais Querido. According to journalist André Hernan, from UOL, the player is 'living for today'.
“Gabigol, what I have information on, is that in his mind he still doesn't have a future. There isn't a club where he already has something lined up, there isn't a proposal like the one from Palmeiras, which Palmeiras withdrew because Gabigol wasn't willing to sign a pre-contract to stay at Flamengo until the end of the year. What is Gabigol's idea? Living today, Gabigol is living today intensely, he will do his best, he wants to play in the Libertadores, Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil, wherever he is selected, he wants to play”, said Hernan live.
Still according to the journalist, if Gabigol does not renew with Flamengo, he has one request: to have a big farewell. At Mais Querido since 2019, Gabi has four Cariocas, two Brazilian Super Cups, one Recopa Sul-Americana, one Copa do Brasil, two Brasileiros and two Libertadores.
“Ah, but if you don’t renew at the end of the year. Okay, he's going to follow his future and he wants a farewell worthy of the size he has at Flamengo, the size of the achievements he had at the club. So, this is Gabigol's thoughts today: live in the moment, tomorrow will be resolved later. What he wants is to leave Flamengo big, the size he built his career at Flamengo, the titles he won”, he concluded on the De Primeira program.
To stay at Flamengo, Gabigol wants five-year contractPreviously, in 2023, Gabigol and Flamengo agreed to renew the contract for five years. However, with the striker's drop in performance, Mengão went back and now only wants one more year of commitment. The obstacle is done.
