Gabigol is in his final months as a player for Flamengo and continues to be watched by other teams in Brazilian and European football. However, Palmeiras, one of those interested in the striker, ended up giving up on signing him. Thus, the number 99 will be free on the market from January 2025.

According to information from journalist André Hernan, Palmeiras carried out an internal evaluation and decided not to continue with the signing of Gabigol. Thus, the Alviverde team will have other priorities following the season, aiming for the center forward position.

INDEFINITIONS WITH FLAMENGO

It is worth remembering that Gabigol has a contract with Flamengo until the end of December. The attacker was available on the market, but only with the payment of a fee to Mais Querido. Cruzeiro, Corinthians, Palmeiras, Grêmio and Bahia showed interest, but did not reach an agreement. Thus, the number 99 remains at the club until the end of the contract.


O Flamengo even offered a contract renewal proposal to the player, as confirmed by Rodolfo Landim in an interview. However, the attacker and his manager rejected it.

GABIGOL CONTINUES TREATING INJURY

Gabigol is currently injured. The number 99 suffered an injury to his right thigh muscle in the clash against Bolívar, in the Libertadores. Therefore, the attacker should only return to the field in September.

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.

Flaengo striker Luiz Araújo underwent successful surgery this Wednesday (13) to correct an osteochondral injury in his right knee. The procedure, carried out by doctor Max Ramos and accompanied by Márcio Tannure, head of the club's medical department, was necessary after the player fractured his cartilage during the derby against Vasco, last Sunday (10).

UNDERSTAND THE LUIZ ARAÚJO INJURY

The osteochondral injury involves the cartilage, a tissue that covers the bones between the joints. In cases of separation, degeneration or rupture, the underlying bone may also be affected. This condition is common in joints such as the knee, ankle and elbow, and can cause pain and movement limitations.

Luiz Araújo suffered the injury in a dispute with left-back Lucas Piton, from Vasco. After the collision, the Mais Querido player needed medical attention and, although he tried to continue on the field, he was substituted in the 17th minute of the first half.



RECOVERY TIME

The red-black attacker's estimated recovery time is approximately two months. During this period, he will undergo an intensive process of physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation, with the expectation of returning in shape for the end of the season.


FOCUS IN RECOVERY

Flamengo's medical department is closely monitoring Luiz Araújo's progress, ensuring that the player has all the conditions for a full recovery. The team is also looking for alternatives to make up for the athlete's absence in the next important commitments, both in the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.
