The red-black president will not make much effort to renew the striker, according to Renato

Flamengo is a little box of emotions. This is because while the fans and the team are focused on the debut of the Libertadores, the management is worried about the Gabigol case and his severe punishment, of being suspended for two years on suspicion of fraud in toxicological tests.
Picking up on the matter, columnist Renato Mauricio Prado highlighted in the program "Fim de Papo", on the UOL portal, that the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, you want to see Gabigol behind his back. According to RMP, the red-and-black president will not push hard to renew with the striker, who is suspended until 2025.
"Landim's interview yesterday with CNN was revealing. For the first time, he said what following: 'Gabriel is the one who will decide whether he wants to stay at Flamengo or not'. We are not going to - he made this clear - meet Gabriel's requests, which they consider astronomical and it seems to me that they were", said Renato, who continued...
'We're going to do as we did with Everton Ribeiro, we're going to make a proposal for Gabriel to renew, if he has a better proposal, let him be happy' — this interview, for me, makes it very clear that Landim deep down wants to see Gabriel behind his back. They will appeal to the CAS [Corte Arbitral do Esporte], saying that they are on Gabriel's side, but the truth is that, with this CNN interview, it was very clear that Landim said: 'Gabriel, do like Everton Ribeiro, take your suitcase and go be happy somewhere else', he concluded.
FLAMENGO'S DEBUT IN LIBERTADORES 2024After finishing last season's Brazilian Championship between top four, Flamengo guaranteed a place in the group stage of the Libertadores 2024. Therefore, Rubro-Negro's debut in the competition takes place this Tuesday (02), when they face Millonarios at 7pm (Brasília time) at El Campín , in Bogotá, Colombia.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
The club cautiously adopts the moment

French striker Anthony Martial, currently on the market, presented a robust financial proposal to Flamengo. Since February, his agent has offered the player to Rubro-Negro. Now, the financial terms of the proposal are on the agenda and show that negotiations could be a challenge for the Rio club.
Martial requires a significant financial package to consider a transfer to Flamengo. The amount requested includes a monthly salary of more than R$2 million, in addition to gloves. This amount refers to a three-year contract, which represents a considerable financial commitment for Flamengo. The French striker, who currently plays for Manchester United, has a remarkable track record in Europe. However, the high cost of signing him is being evaluated by the Rio club. Flamengo< /a>, which already has a strong squad and is one of the main clubs in Brazil, needs to evaluate the financial and strategic viability of this signing.
Since February, Martial's proposal has been circulating, but only now have the financial details been released. Martial's request is high and reflects the market standard for players of his caliber. However, Flamengo is aware that this investment will need to be well evaluated, not only in financial terms, but also in terms of the impact it may have on the team's structure and the club's finances.
O Rubro-Negro has shown interest in strengthening the squad and has been looking for quality players to maintain competitiveness at national and international level. Martial's proposal, therefore, is being analyzed with caution. The high cost can impact other areas of the club's budget and influence future negotiations and hiring. In addition to the financial aspect, Flamengo needs to consider Martial's tactical adjustment to the team's game plan. The French striker has a playing style that can add value to the squad, but the club will need to ensure that he fits well into the strategy and playing style proposed by the coach.
