The striker has been speculated on by several teams, but prioritizes renewal with Mais Querido

The subject of renewing Gabigol's link with Flamengocontinues to give something to talk about. Therefore, the Gazeta do Urubu portal sought out more information about the attacker's relationship with Rubro-Negro, through journalist Pablo Raphael, who found out what the number 99's desire for Mais Querido was.
According to some sources, Gabigol wants to remain at Flamengo and still believes that Mais Querido will renew his contract. Furthermore, it is his manager who wants to remove him from Rubro-Negro, as the player has not had space in the team.
RIFFRE WITH THE BOARD AND DESIRE TO REMAIN AT FLAMENGOFurthermore, Gabigol has a big feud with the Red and Black board, who are not afraid to publicly show their dissatisfaction with the attacker. Rodolfo Landim does not want the player to remain in the long term, as he is not showing high performance. Therefore, a short contract model was suggested, 1 year of contract plus salary adjustment, which left the athlete upset, as he expected a longer contract.
Even though he was no longer "loved" by the board, Gabriel will talk to Mais Querido's directors once again this week, as his managers want the athlete's situation to be defined as quickly as possible.
So, if Flamengo only offered him a 2-year contract , Gabigol would be willing to accept, as the number 99 does not want to leave the club through the back doors. The reason the player was cut from the match against Cruzeiro was in retaliation for the statements made by Júnior Pedroso, his manager.
