Every day, Gabigol's destiny is far from the vulture's nest
|
0The future of Gabigol is uncertain, but the player should not stay at Flamengo. The statements made by the club's managers, which have even irritated the player, indicate that the end of the cycle is real and a new renewal should not be offered. Therefore, Gabriel must now evaluate possible destinations, after much speculation from Corinthians and Palmeiras. But Everton Ribeiro's Bahia is another possibility.
Flamengo's own idol, Everton Ribeiro, invited his former teammate to join him in Salvador. The midfielder gave an interview to TNT Sports and responded about Gabigol, stating that Bahia would be an incredible destination and that he is counting on his arrival. Furthermore, he passed the responsibility on to the Bahian team's manager, showing himself excited about the possibility.
“It's a great destination. We count on him here. He just says he wants us to make a call. I talk to Cadu (Santoro) and he gives his way. Gabi is a great striker, he has a beautiful story at Flamengo. If he leaves, may he go to a big club like Bahia. If you get here, it will help a lot. I'm sure he has many goals ahead of him in his career”, says Everton Ribeiro.
Ex-Flamengo, Everton Ribeiro did not reach an agreement with Flamengo to remain at the club, seeing his contract end at the end from last season. The same happens with Gabigol, who has a contract until December and did not reach a consensus with the Mengão board about staying.
Gabigol, therefore, fulfills his contract, but the news was also that Bahia could wait until December to negotiate directly with the player, just as Palmeiras and Corinthians could also do.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Red-and-black striker is the target of speculation in the transfer market
|
0This Monday (16), rumors emerged involving Bahia's interest in signing Gabigol, striker from Mais Querido. According to the channel Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Tricolor de Aço would have entered the dispute for Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengojust until December this year. In addition to Bahia, clubs such as Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Santos would also be keeping an eye on the player.
Despite the speculation, the Bahia board was quick to deny any ongoing negotiations to count on the shirt 99 from Mengão. According to the club's leadership, there is no intention of repeating an operation similar to that carried out with Everton Ribeiro.
As soon as news of the supposed interest began to circulate, Bahia tried to clarify the situation. In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season. The information of possible interest, therefore, was directly denied by Tricolor's directors.
Even so, the attacker remains one of the most targeted names in the transfer market for 2025, as he is in the final stretch of contract with Flamengoand you can now sign a pre-contract with any other team.
With Bahia's denial, Corinthians remains the main favorite to sign Gabigol from next year. The possibility of the red-black striker wearing the Timão shirt gains strength, especially after coach Tite appointed Gabigol as the third option for Mengão's attacking command, behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
