Rodolfo Landim opens doors to renew Gabigol: proposal is already on the table

The president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, revealed in an interview with the newspaper O Globo that the club has already presented a contract renewal proposal to striker Gabigol. With the current contract ending on December 31st, Landim made it clear that, if the player wishes, the renewal can happen immediately, ensuring that the star's continuity at Rubro-Negro only depends on his own decision. "The proposal is already on the table", declared the agent, reinforcing the club's intention to extend the idol's stay.

O Gabigol's contract, which lasts until the end of the year, can be renewed by the current administration or, if Landim does not remain as president, by the next president who will take over on January 1st. "By the 31st of December, I've put a contract on the table; if he wants to do it, I'll renew it. My ink pen only runs dry on the 31st of December", stressed the manager, highlighting that Flamengo is prepared to keep the top scorer , as long as there is mutual interest.

 THE PLAYER HAS PROPOSALS IN HIS HANDS 

Landim also addressed the prospect of continuity Gabigol depending on the expected performance for the coming years. According to him, Flamengo expects the player to present a level of performance that justifies the renewal, but reinforced the desire to keep one of the most emblematic athletes in the club's recent history. "I think he also wants to stay at Flamengo. Now, things need to come together", said Landim, highlighting that the final decision on Gabigol's future will depend on an alignment of interests between the athlete and the club.

Gabigol, an icon of the Red and Black fans and a fundamental player in winning recent titles, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores, is one of the most beloved athletes among Flamengo fans. Its continuity is seen as an important step for Flamengo to remain competitive and maintain the identity it has built over recent years. The renewal proposal, according to Landim, is based on a performance projection that values ​​the athlete and the club, guaranteeing an advantageous relationship for both sides.

 ELECTIONS COMING 

The possible change of presidency, due to the Flamengo elections , is also a relevant point, as the next manager may adopt a different stance on Gabigol's renewal. Landim considered that, even with the uncertainties generated by the election, his management sought to bring forward the renewal process to ensure that Flamengo is able to plan the future with stability. “On January 1st, the president will be another. And then he can sign the contract the way he wants with Gabigol”, added the president, pointing out that it is up to the player to decide whether he will accept the current proposal or wait for the new presidency.
