Gabigol, away from Flamengo while he decides the next steps of his career, has Cruzeiro as one of those interested in signing him. Due to those ironies that football produces, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais face each other this Sunday (30), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The player's presence could add an extra ingredient to the already fierce confrontation.
Although they want to have the striker in their squad, now or at the end of the season, Raposa already surpasses Flamengo in one aspect: being the team of Series A that invested the most money in reinforcements during the year. This fact highlights Cruzeiro's ambition to strengthen its squad to compete at a high level in the national championship.
Much of this is due to the change in command of the SAF. If with Ronaldo spending was reduced to R$11.8 million on four players (Lucas Romero, Juan Dinenno, Lucas Villalba and Álvaro Barreal), the situation changed completely as soon as Pedro Lourenço took power. The new Cruzeirense management brought a philosophy of aggressive investment in the transfer market.
The new Cruzeirense manager promised to give the club a new face and went to the market with "hungry" to guarantee signings of impact. In this wave, names such as strikers Lautaro Díaz and Kaio Jorge, midfielders Fabrizio Pereira, Matheus Henrique and Walace, and defender Jonathan Jesus arrived. Not to mention goalkeeper Cássio, hired free of charge, further reinforcing the team.
In addition to these reinforcements, there is also the money invested to permanently sign defender João Marcelo and midfielder Matheus Pereira . Thus, Cruzeiro spent the equivalent of R$188 million on players, more than the R$162 million spent by Flamengo. This demonstrates the Minas Gerais team's determination to build a competitive squad.
The difference is that, if Raposa paid all this in 17 athletes, Rubro-Negro invested all this amount in four names: defender Léo Ortiz, left-back Matías Viña, midfielder De La Cruz and striker Carlinhos. This discrepancy in the number of players acquired reveals different market strategies between the two clubs.
It is also worth remembering that Cruzeiro had an agreement with Dudu, who in the end renounced the deal to continue at Palmeiras. Gabigol could further unbalance this ranking in favor of Cruzeiro, if the team from Minas Gerais insists on signing him and reaches an agreement with Flamengo. According to ESPN, the locals are even willing to release number 99, as long as they receive financial compensation that they deem consistent with the attacker's value.
Behind the scenes aside, the clubs duel on the field this Sunday in similar situations in the table. Flamengo, at home, seeks to forget the defeat against Juventude and regain the lead, which was theirs at the beginning of the round. Cruzeiro, with 20 points, wants to stay on top of the top four, making the game even more crucial for both sides.

The news that Flamengo is seeking the return of Lucas Paquetá excited the red and black fans this Wednesday (04). However, West Ham (ING), the player's current club, only agrees to negotiate him definitively, and the Rio club will try to use sponsors to finance the proposal.
According to information from "ExWHUEmployee" , which covers West Ham's day-to-day life, Flamengo will try to buy Paquetá. To this end, Rubro-Negro intends to use sponsors to finance the purchase offer, something that could attract the interest of the English team.
At the moment, it is worth noting that no offer is on the English team's table. On West Ham's side, the sale of the midfielder would be the way to recover part of the investment of 60 million euros, around R$300 million, made by Paquetá two years ago.
Initially, sources linked to the player claim that the Rio club started to try to repatriate the player on loan. The conversations are being led by Flamengo's vice-president, Marcos Braz, who received a positive signal from Lucas Paquetá for the attempt. This is because the midfielder understands that returning to Gávea at this time can be positive.
In the midst of this, Paquetá continues to be investigated in England for alleged participation in betting irregularities. According to the formal accusation, the player forced yellow cards in four matches between November 2022 and August 2023. Therefore, there is an expectation of heavy punishment for the midfielder.
WEST'S 'OK' LEFT HAMHaving the 'ok' from Paquetá and the representatives, Flamengo now sets out to try to convince West Ham. Rubro-Negro dreams of signing him immediately, so that the midfielder can be a reinforcement later this year, in the Libertadores, Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão games. Finally, it is worth remembering that the transfer window opens on July 10th.
