GABIGOL AT CORINTHIANS? UNDERSTAND HOW TIMÃO COULD PAY THE SAME SALARY AS FLAMENGO

After a lot of history written with Flamengo, Gabigol is at risk of not being able to renew his contract with the team. There is judicial issues - in the case of doping in which he is involved -, as well as incompatibilities in the clauses of a new contract with the team. Gabriel wants to keep the Sacred Mantle for another 5 years, in addition to asking for a higher salary. The red and black board does not think the same way. However, the player, apparently, is not at risk of being left without a team.

In the midst of all this drama, Corinthians never stopped closely monitoring all of Gabriel and Flamengo's movements. Timão knows that the striker's priority is to renew with the red-black club and that he does not intend to sign a pre-contract with any team and will wait for the contractual resolution until the end of his contract in December and only when he has the completion of conversations with Flamengo will make the decision for another club. But the interest exists and the investments have already taken place.

A significant part of the red and black fans completely disregarded the possibility of the number 10 being transferred to Corinthians, due to the club's financial situation. Corinthians' recent debt headlines are not encouraging for their fans. The São Paulo club is recognized as one of the most indebted clubs in the country and its recently elected president, Augusto Melo, has been juggling debts with the formation of a strong team.

Eliminated in the first phase of the São Paulo championship, Corinthians has already spent more than R$ 130 million on 12 players signed in the first window of 2024 and debts do not seem to be an impediment to signings in Itaquera's team. However, there is a plan in progress to make it possible to pay the costs involved in hiring a strong athlete like Gabriel Barbosa.

Corinthians' plan, according to the newspaper O Dia, is to find partners in the São Paulo marketing market, who will help them pay for Gabigol's high salary since the player could join the club for free , if you do not renew with Mais Querido. Supported by partners, Corinthians hopes to be able to tempt Gabigol to move to the capital of São Paulo and defend the Corinthians colors in the coming seasons.

Just recovered due to muscle injuries, Gabigol will be available to coach Tite for the semi-final match against Fluminense next Saturday (16) at 9pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
