Gabigol could turn 10 years old wearing the Flamengo shirt. The player will begin negotiating a new contract with the Red and Black board and the forecast is for a four-year contract extension, starting in 2024, which is when his current contract ends. The agreement is progressing well, with both parties interested in its permanence, and should be signed in the coming weeks, according to GE.

The number 10 arrived in the red and black squad in 2019, as one of the first bets of president Rodolfo Landim, who also took office that year. Gabi came on loan from Europe, where he did not have a memorable performance, playing for the Portuguese Benfica (2017/18) and then for the Italian Inter Milan (2018/19).

Immediately, Gabigol became an idol of the twisted. Everything he couldn't do on the old continent in three years, he achieved at Flamengo in less than one. During the historic year of 2019, the current number 10 was the hero of the Copa Libertadores de América victory and scored 43 goals in just 59 games.


At the end of that memorable season, Mais Querido was willing to do almost anything to have Gabriel permanently. It took two months of negotiations until the red and black representatives bought him from Inter Milan for 17.5 million euros in January 2020. The star signed, at the time, until December 2024. 


Currently , the striker is in his fifth season with the club and the most questioned to date. 2023 was the only year, since his arrival, in which he is not the squad's top scorer. His drop in performance on the field is reflected in the numbers: he participated in 24 goals in 53 games, almost half the result of his first year.

The decision of Tite sparing the cast entirely raises some questions. On the one hand, it preserves players for more important commitments and minimizes the risk of injuries at a time when physical exhaustion can be a serious problem. On the other hand, placing an alternative team in a Brazilian Championship match, which is still in dispute, can be seen as risky, as a defeat or even a draw could have consequences on the table.

In addition , the choice of David Luiz and Cleiton in defense and Allan and Everton Araújo in midfield suggests that Tite trusts in the depth of his squad. He seems to believe that, even with the changes, the team will be able to compete at a high level. This also gives reserve players a chance to show their value, which could be crucial for the squad's dynamics in the coming weeks.


FLAMENGO HAS ITS TOUGH TIME

Another relevant point of this strategy is the issue of integration. A team that doesn't usually play together may have difficulty adapting to the demands of a high-level match, especially against opponents who are playing for real and with their starting team. The lack of rhythm among players can be a challenge to be faced, but it is also an opportunity for these athletes to gain experience and adapt more quickly to the demands of elite football.

Tite, known for being A meticulous strategist, he must have considered these factors when choosing to rotate the squad at this point in the championship. The choices reflect a balance between the physical preservation of the main players and the need to keep the team competitive throughout the season. The expectation is that this decision, even if bold, will not compromise the team's performance in the championship.

This Sunday's clash will be an important test of the depth of the squad and the ability of reserve players to take on responsibilities at crucial moments. Cleiton, for example, will have the chance to show that he can be a reliable option for the defense in the future, and Allan and Everton Araújo will have the task of controlling the midfield and dictating the pace of the game.

This Sunday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, the coach Tite made a decision that caught attention: he will spare the entire starting team for the clash. With the tight schedule and sequence of games, the coach chose to preserve his main athletes for future commitments, focusing on keeping the squad in good physical condition and avoiding injuries. This rotation strategy, common in long competitions, reflects the need to keep the squad fresh and competitive in the decisive phases of the season.

In defense, Tite will bet on a formation with David Luiz, who brings experience to the sector, forming a duo with young Cleiton, one of the squad's promises. Cleiton will have a great opportunity to show his service and gain confidence playing alongside a veteran with experience with the Brazilian national team and prominent clubs in Europe. The choice of David Luiz for this match, even with the team being spared, demonstrates the importance of having leadership on the field to guide and organize the defense.

An era has ended. Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, is out of Flamengo's plans for the rest of the season and should no longer play minutes in Mais Querido's next games. With this, the number 99's time with the Mengão shirt would be over, as his contract ends at the end of this season. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

According to the journalist, Gabigol has been “shunned” at the club. The striker arrived to train this Saturday (21), but did so separately from the rest of the group. The contractual situation is one of the reasons why the number 99 is no longer in the club's plans. Gabriel Barbosa is unlikely to have his contract renewed at the end of the season.

“The truth is that Gabigol is being left out. Due to the contractual issue, he may no longer play with the Flamengo shirt. The information I have, a club director told me, is that there is a good chance that he will no longer play for Flamengo. He will not renew, the atmosphere is not good, Gabigol is totally unmotivated, even more so after seeing that he is behind Carlinhos in the queue, the atmosphere is terrible”, said Venê Casagrande on his YouTube channel.

< Gabigol is one of the greatest players in Flamengo's history, scoring very important goals, including in all the Libertadores finals in which the club participated with number 99 on the field, which guaranteed two cups in the main competition on the South American continent . Furthermore, Gabriel Barbosa was the competition's top scorer on two occasions, 2019 and 2021.


Gabriel Barbosa's time included 285 games, where he scored 157 goals, which places him in sixth place on the list of greatest top scorers in the club's history. Additionally, he dished out 42 assists. At Flamengo, Gabigol won two Libertadores, two Brazilian Championships, two Super Cups, one Recopa, one Copa do Brasil and four Cariocas.
