There is a lot of discussion in Brazil about the implementation of Financial Fair Play in football. This is because many clubs spend more than they should in order to compete with the big ones: Flamengo and Palmeiras. Furthermore, another team that has everything it needs to compete for titles is Bahia, which became SAF and is part of the City Group. According to John Textor, the other clubs should come together to destroy the potential of the Bahian team.
“That's my message to Corinthians, Palmeiras, Flamengo: if we don't do anything about Financial Fair Play and ceiling salary, we will wake up in 70 years and Bahia will win the Brazilian Championship 17 times every 20 years. A model of unrestrained spending without restrictions. I want to kick their ass, I hope they have a bad year. But they put their hands in their pockets, let go of some of the oil money and that's it for me", said Textor, in an interview with GE.
TEXTOR WARNING ABOUT BAHIA'S STRENGTH IN BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL"I love Manchester City and the people there, but the fact is that Brazil brought oil money to here. If we don't do something immediately, Bahia will eat our lunch. That wonderful little city I was in yesterday, beautiful, great hotel, beautiful, perfect… They will win all the championships for 20 years in a row. I'm sorry to say this to all the Flamengo fans out there. Forget it. It's over, it's over. We need to fix this now. The league has to be done now, and the salary cap too", added the owner of Botafogo.

This 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.
