According to UOL Esporte, the  Corinthians decided to end negotiations to sign Gabigol. The decision was taken after listening to the advice of CEO Fred Luz and financial director Pedro Silveira, who recommended caution in the transfer market. The board is committed to avoiding financial extravagances that could further compromise the club's finances. 


Currently, Timão is facing difficulties in honoring players' salaries. This complicated financial situation makes it impossible for the club to meet Gabigol's salary demands, who ask for more than R$2 million per month. This amount is considered exorbitant and unfeasible for Corinthians' budget. The club's strategy is not to do anything crazy in the transfer market, maintaining strict control over spending.


EXORBITANT SALARY AWAYS GABIGOL FROM CORINTHIANS 


This approach aims to guarantee the club's financial stability a long term. Beyond Furthermore, the board is aware that signing a player with such a high salary could cause demotivation in the current squad, due to the large salary disparity. Fred Luz and Pedro Silveira assessed the transfer market with caution. They understood that, despite Gabigol's talent, the investment would not be sustainable for the club at this time. The decision not to move forward with negotiations was seen as the most prudent to avoid future financial problems.

Corinthians is focused on finding financial solutions that allow the club to honor its commitments and, at the same time, seek reinforcements that fit within the available budget. The priority is to balance the books and ensure that the club remains competitive without compromising its financial health. The withdrawal from hiring Gabigol reflects the cautious and responsible stance of the Corinthians board. At a time of financial difficulties, the decision to avoid excessive spending is seen as a necessary step to ensure the club's stability.

The duel between Flamengo and Grêmio this Sunday (31) , valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, ended in a 1-1 draw at Maracanã. Mais Querido opened the scoring at the beginning of the second half with Arrascaeta, but saw goalkeeper Tiago Volpi convert a penalty and leave everything equal in the final stretch of the match.


The first half was marked by Flamengo 's control, maintaining possession but struggling to overcome Mano Menezes's tight marking. Pedro and Léo Pereira's key chances came from moves that forced Volpi into crucial saves and Noriega into a clearance on the line. For Grêmio, counterattacks were ineffective, and Rossi barely played in the first 45 minutes.


ARRASCAETA OPENS THE SCORING WITH A FAST PLAY


Just seven minutes into the second half, Mengão managed to convert the pressure into a goal . After a quick exchange of passes, Arrascaeta exchanged passes with Pedro and shot low, leaving Volpi with no chance, sending the red-and-black fans into an eruption in the stands.

However, the balance returned in the 37th minute. Pavón attempted a cross from the right, but the ball deflected off Ayrton Lucas's hand inside the box . The referee awarded the penalty, which goalkeeper Tiago Volpi skillfully converted: the ball went into one corner, Rossi into the other.


FLAMENGO INSISTS ON SEARCHING FOR VICTORY

After the equalizer, Flamengo launched an attack. Bruno Henrique and Emerson Royal came on to provide some breathing room, but their attempts were thwarted by the Gaucho team's marking and Volpi's solid defense . With the result, Flamengo remains in the lead, but its lead in the standings is under pressure.
