Last Monday night (2), Portugal's transfer window closed. Thus, taking advantage of the last few hours, Leixões agreed to sign another player revealed by Flamengo: defender Rafael Santos, who played for Santa Clara (POR).
After signing with Gabriel Noga and Werton, both revealed at Flamengo's base, Leixões concluded the signing of Rafael Santos, 26 years old, permanently. Therefore, the team now has three former Mais Querido athletes.
Rafael joined Mais Querido in 2018, when he played for the first time as a professional. In 2019, the defender participated in one duel, while in 2020 he played in four games. Despite the short spell, the defender won the 2019 Carioca and the 2020 Brasileirão.
Soon afterwards, Rafael Santos left Mais Querido on loan in 2021 to join Apoel, from Cyprus, where he spent two seasons. Afterwards, the defender signed permanently with Moreirense (POR) before arriving at Santa Clara.
At Santa Clara, Rafael played little. This is because, in his last season, the defender participated in just eight matches. So, with no space in the team, he decided to join Leixões.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club
