With the injury of Pedro, Flamengo should look for a free striker on the market to reinforce itself and fight for titles until the end of the season. The Flamengo player was injured in training with the Brazilian team, tearing the anterior ligament in his knee, and will only return in 2025. Without its top scorer and with the window closed, the club can only look for athletes without a contractual relationship.
Some names already appear linked to the club, such as Depay, who was offered to the club, and Martial, who was wanted by Flamengo. Choupo-Moting is another option. However, all the names that have emerged are behind Pedro in goal averages, whether in his career or in his best season.
With an average of 0.46 goals per game, Pedro sees Depay as the closest , with an average of 0.39. However, Choupo-Moting is the one who has the closest characteristics to Pedro, playing more centrally as a reference. But Choupo-Moting's average is not good, being last on the list, with 0.23 goals per game throughout his career.
It is also worth mentioning about Choupo-Moting that before his time at PSG , from 2018 to 2020, the striker was a main part of the attack of all the teams he played for: Hamburg, Nurembeg, Mainz, Schalke 04 and Stoke City. Even so, the goal average is low.
Pedro – 0.46
Depay – 0.39
Martial – 0.25
Choupo-Moting – 0.23
The best season of each of the namesComparing the best year of each one, Pedro also takes the best. With the injury, Pedro ended the season with an average of 0.70 goals per game, the best average of his career, although his desire to surpass 2023, his highest scoring year, fell by the wayside. The only one to achieve the same average was Depay. However, it happened in 2014/15, almost ten seasons ago. Depay's most recent best average was 0.55 in 2020/21. His difference, however, is his offensive contribution, also distributing a good number of assists.
Pedro – 0.70 (2024)
Depay – 0.70 (2014/15) and the most recent best was 0.55 in 2020/21
Martial – 0.48 (2019/20)
Choupa-Moting – 0.57 (2022/23)< /p>
Pedro was close to his top scoring season
Before being forced to end his year due to a knee injury, Pedro was five goals away from reaching at 35 this year, equaling the same number of goals as last year, his highest scoring season. Furthermore, there was only one goal left to reach 39 direct appearances, which would also equal last year's figure.

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.
The offer made is 90% of the club
