Uol columnist, journalist and self-confessed red-black, Renato Maurício Prado, assessed on the Fim de Papo program that a possible Gabigol's departure for free from Flamengo at the end of the year will disrupt the electoral plans of both president Rodolfo Landim and vice president for football, Marcos Braz. According to RMP, the striker lost his way at Fla in 2023, but can still recover at the club.
'Gabigol thought he was Brazil's Neymar last year': "Gabigol started 'Neymarzar', in the worst term of Neymar, last year. It was Gabriel's year of disgrace, a year before he had decided another Libertadores and had decided a Copa do Brasil. That penalty he took against Corinthians, he set Maracanã on fire, he even set Rodinei on fire , who ended up scoring the title goal. Gabigol got lost (and I agree with all the criticism) last year. In 2023, he really thought he was Neymar from Brazil and started doing all the stupid things that Neymar does off the field, all the unprofessional attitudes that Neymar has off the field, and he was completely lost. It wasn't just him who was lost, but he, as the main symbol of that Flamengo, was what was most evident. Even because the others were They lost by playing badly, but he, no, decided to be Lil Gabi, to get involved where he shouldn't, in short, a lot of nonsense", said RMP, before concluding...
'If Gabigol leaves for free , Marcos Braz does not elect himself as trustee': "He still has a chance to recover. I'm almost certain that if he doesn't recover at Flamengo and goes to another club, he will recover at this other club, because he still has the ball and he's going with it. At Palmeiras, for example, would he fly, or does anyone have any doubts that he is better than Flaco López or Rony himself? Gabriel's problem is that Flamengo's directors, for a change, are putting their foot down. Imagine Gabigol leaving for free at the end of the year and playing a big game the following year in a great team, that's what Flamengo's directors want to avoid, they want to sell beforehand, but they're scared to death because this year there are two elections that matter directly to the two heads of Flamengo football. There is the election of Flamengo itself, in which Landim cannot be a candidate, but will want to be his successor; and there is the election for Marcos Braz as councilor, imagine if Gabriel leaves, Marcos Braz won't even be elected as building manager. He's already down after the groin biting story, imagine if Gabriel leaves for free."
Next appointment
Gabigol's Flamengo hosts Madureira, at Maracanã, the starting at 4pm (Brasília time) on Saturday (02). The game is valid for the 11th and final round of the group stage of the Campeonato Carioca. Therefore, Mais Querido is looking for victory to advance to the semi-finals in first place in the table.
Currently, Flamengo is the isolated leader of Carioca, with 24 points won in ten games played. With this, Tite's team is already guaranteed in the semi-finals of the State and, in addition, it has its hands in the Guanabara Cup.
The player was unable to perform as expected at Mengão after his signing and the Galo coach is a fan of the athlete's football.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .
Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
