The future of Gabigol, one of the most celebrated strikers in Brazilian football, appears to be increasingly uncertain. Recently, journalist Raisa Simplicio, known in sports circles as @simpraisa on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that she had received intriguing information from an intermediary in the football market. According to the journalist, the player has aroused interest from clubs not only in Brazil, but also in other parts of the world.
One of the main news shared by Simplicio is the interest of clubs in Saudi Arabia. In recent years, Saudi football has invested heavily in international talent, seeking to raise the level of its local league. Gabigol, with his finishing ability and experience in high-level competitions, is a name that naturally attracts attention. The journalist reported that some Saudi clubs have already consulted about the striker's contractual situation.
GABIGOL MAY BE LEAVING
In addition to the Middle East, the market European can also be a viable option for Gabigol. Despite his previous stint in Europe, where he played for clubs like Internazionale and Benfica without much prominence, the player has matured and gained new prominence since his return to Brazil. At Flamengo, Gabigol stood out in competitions such as the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship, showing an evolution that could awaken the interest of European clubs again.
Although the focus is on international interest, one cannot rule out the possibility of Gabigol continuing his career at another Brazilian club, if he decides not to renew with Flamengo. Clubs with great expression on the national scene could be attractive destinations, offering both visibility and competitiveness. The fight for a player of Gabigol's caliber would certainly move the domestic market and would be one of the biggest topics of the transfer window.

Commentator Denílson revealed that Filipe Luís is in no rush to renew his contract with Flamengo. The coach's contract runs until the end of the current season, and although he is highly valued internally , his lack of clarity opens the door to speculation and even potential interest from European clubs if a deal doesn't materialize.
Denílson on Filipe Luís at Flamengo: "He signaled that he still doesn't want to renew"
Despite his excellent work at the helm of the club, Filipe Luís will likely negotiate a salary increase to extend his contract . According to Denílson, the board understands that the former full-back has already become a technical and strategic asset to the club, but the decision should be made naturally in the coming months.
During his commentary, Denílson mentioned Jorge Jesus, currently at Al-Nassr, but ruled out any possibility of the Portuguese coach returning to Flamengo . He believes the coach will be remembered only for his winning streak in 2019 and 2020, without posing a threat to the continuity of the current project.
"Filipe Luís has signaled that he doesn't want to renew yet. Flamengo said: 'Shall we renew? Wait a minute.' If Filipe Luís doesn't renew, who would be a good name for this Flamengo ? They're in a good phase and swimming with ease... But forget it, this guy (Jorge Jesus) isn't coming back ," said Denílson.
Due to the FIFA World Cup, Flamengo will be sidelined for two weeks. Filipe Luís's side will return to action on September 14th at 4pm (Brasília time) against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. With 47 points, Flamengo remains in the lead, followed by Cruzeiro (44) and Palmeiras (43).

The two players began playing together at Flamengo in 2022. While Arrascaeta was already a regular starter, Wesley struggled early in his career . However, he gained ground and established himself from the final stretch of 2024, under Filipe Luís.

Currently at Roma, Wesley is also part of Carlo Ancelotti's Brazilian national team squad . The full-back started in the 3-0 victory over Chile on the 5th at Maracanã, but missed the 1-0 loss to Bolivia in El Alto.
