Gabigol's departure from Flamengo would have a major impact on the club
|
0The 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.
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.

0The first women's volleyball competition is Mengão's! This Friday (27), Flamengo won the National Cup of Pro-Vôlei Clubs. Against the current Superliga champion, Bernardinho's team played 3 sets to 0 at Minas, with scores of 25-15, 25-18 and 25-17. The duel took place at Ginásio Wilson Mânica, in Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul.
The tournament featured three clubs and serves as preparation for the 2024/25 Superliga. On Wednesday (25), Flamengo beat Maringá. On Thursday (26), Minas also beat the team from Paraná. Therefore, this Friday (27th) the big decision took place, which had a packed gym.
Despite being a competition to open the season, Flamengo's victory gives a boost to the season. After all, Minas is the team to beat in Brazilian women's volleyball. Thus, in the last five Superligas, the Belo Horizonte team won four titles and one runner-up. In the squad, there are athletes who have played for the Brazilian team, such as Thaísa, Olympic champion and bronze medalist in this year's edition, in Paris.
SuperligaThe dates of the Women's Super League have not yet been announced. However, there is an expectation that the competition will start in October. In total, 12 teams will play the tournament, in a round-robin system, with the eight best qualifying for the quarter-finals.
In the last edition, after all, Flamengo was eliminated by Praia Clube in the semi-final . Therefore, the goal for 2024/25 is to reach the decision and repeat the title won in 2000/01, when Rubro-Negro beat Vasco, in a historic decision at the Ginásio do Maracanãzinho.

The event will be held in Central Park, New York. FIFA did not detail how many cities and stadiums will host the 2025 edition. This will be the first time that the tournament will feature 32 teams.
The Super World Cup will be held between June 15 and July 13, 2025 The competition already has 30 qualified teams, with three Brazilians among them: Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense. Brazil may have one more representative. This is because Atlético-MG and Botafogo are fighting for the last South American place in the competition — the Libertadores title gives them the place. Peñarol [if they win the Libertadores] and Olímpia [if River wins the Libertadores] are the other teams in the running.
The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.
In addition to the remaining MLS spot, which has not yet defined its representative, the other available entry belongs to South America. It is destined for the champion of the edition of 2024 of the Libertadores. If River Plate wins the title, it will be transferred to the Conmebol ranking in FIFA and would already have an owner: Olímpia-PAR.

The attacker can return to the pitch

0Forward Michael is back training at Flamengoafter a period away due to an injury to the hamstring of his right thigh. With his recovery complete, he is already participating in activities with the squad and becomes a possible option for the Rubro-Negro coach in the club's next match, this Sunday (29), against Athletico-PR, in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship. .
Michael's presence in training is already an important step forward, but his inclusion in the list of related players still depends on how he responds to the final training sessions before the match. In the coming days, the coaching staff must evaluate the athlete's physical performance and ability to perform in a high-intensity game. The caution is due to the time Michael spent away, which requires a gradual readjustment to training and the rhythm of the game to avoid new complications.
If it is really related, shirt 30 could bring an interesting offensive alternative to Flamengo. His playing style, marked by speed, dribbling and movement, offers the team a different dynamic in the attacking sector. However, it is necessary to observe how he will behave after his return, considering the need to regain confidence and rhythm after the injury.
The Flamengo coach already has in mind the squad he should use in the Sunday's match, but the possible addition of Michael to the list expands the options, especially at an important moment in the Brazilian Championship, where every point is essential to keep the team at the top of the table. Furthermore, the player's return can help make up for any absences in the attack and add value to the team's tactical system.
