Player seeks to regain his prominent place in the red-black squad
|
0Pedro, one of the great highlights of Flamengo in 2024, suffered a rupture in the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while training with the Brazilian team. The serious injury will rule out the player for the remainder of the season and possibly even the 2025 Club World Cup.
The Rio club is awaiting Pedro's return to Rio de Janeiro to carry out further medical assessments, but is already moving in search of alternatives in the transfer market.
With Pedro's absence, Gabigol, who is also recovering from a thigh injury, could once again assume responsibility for commanding the attack Flamengo.
The striker is experiencing a moment of uncertainty about his future at the club and has had a season so far marred by injuries and the loss of protagonism to Pedro. Despite this, Gabigol is still an option for the team, especially in decisive matches, like the one Flamengo will have against Bahia in the Copa do Brasil.
Gabigol's future at Flamengo remains uncertain. The player recently refused a contract renewal proposal that offered another year and a 50% salary increase, which caused discomfort between the parties.
Flamengo's board has already indicated that it does not intend to improve the offer and, with Gabigol's contract ending in December 2024, his future at the club could be at stake. With elections at Flamengo at the end of this year, the striker's fate may depend on changes in the club's administration.
