After Neto announced that Palmeiras and Corinthians expressed interest in Gabigol, Felippe Facincani sought information behind the scenes at Verdão. Despite the player's status, Leila Pereira's current administration is not considering a possible move at this time. The reason is that, if an alternative to Endrick is hired, she would have to immediately join the cast.
“The question I asked: ‘Does it make sense? Is this a deal that Palmeiras would be willing to do?’. The answer was 'no'. If Palmeiras is going to hire this great replacement for Endrick, he is a guy who still needs to be available this season”, said Facincani, on his YouTube channel.
In addition to Gabigol's current contract with Flamengo, the Rio club would not consider releasing him to a direct competitor. With high costs, the player, who wears the number 10 shirt, has a substantial salary and gloves, values that Palmeiras would be extremely cautious in assuming.
“The directors of Flamengo and Palmeiras do not talk when the subject is business between players. Flamengo would never accept any proposal for one of the greatest idols in the club's history. Palmeiras would not pay huge money for a player whose contract would end six months later. The amounts involved in gloves are a heavy investment because he is asking for a buyback and another salary that is practically the same as Dudu's”, he added.
GABIGOL'S TEMPERAMENT IS A CONCERN
< p>
Without signing famous players in recent years, Palmeiras prioritizes strengthening itself with players who give their best on the field. In this scenario, if Gabigol's name, in fact, were to be debated, there would be immense care for the attacker's behavior.
“Gabigol, forget it. For now, forget it. Within Palmeiras there is a concern with the profile, with the guy's day-to-day life and everything else. Abel has already given several messages regarding this, not to Gabriel, but how he likes the player's characteristics. Gabriel's characteristic, for this day-to-day life at Palmeiras, is that it is very difficult to get married than Abel asks.”
With a disadvantage on the scoreboard, Filipe Luís' team needs to win away from home to advance to the quarterfinals of the competition.

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face each other this Wednesday (6), at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil . The broadcast will be live on the Sportv and Premiere channels. However, fans can follow the commentary on Flamengo TV (link below).
In the first leg, played at Maracanã, Galo prevailed, winning 1-0, giving the Minas Gerais team the advantage of a draw to advance. Mengão, now coached by Filipe Luís , needs to win by one goal to force a penalty shootout. A victory by two or more goals secures direct qualification to the quarterfinals.
Flamengo will have significant absences for the match. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo were not included due to physical stress management, a precaution taken by the medical department after a busy streak.
Given this, Filipe Luís will have to reorganize his attacking side to maintain his attacking power and secure a positive result away from home. Rubro-Negro hasn't won in two consecutive matches, against Atlético-MG and Ceará, which increases the pressure for a strong performance.
Mengão is looking for a victory by more than two goals against Galo in the Copa do Brasil and if they reach the direct spot, they will achieve a feat for the coach.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (06), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV, in a decisive clash for the round of 16 of the Copa Betano do Brasil . With an eye on the sixth title of the competition, Rubro-Negro sees the duel as a key moment for the season.
Beyond its sporting significance, the match could mark a symbolic milestone for Filipe Luís. Since taking over the team in October 2024, the former full-back has been a key player in an attacking and effective Flamengo team. According to Sofascore data, under his leadership, the team has scored 98 goals in 58 matches , an average of 1.69 goals per match. Now, the club is just two goals away from reaching the 100-goal mark under the current coach.
Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta is the leading scorer of the "Filipinho Era," with 16 goals, and is a pillar of the team in the finals. Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique have also been excelling and are among the top scorers of the period, bolstering the red-and-black's attacking prowess.
With a skilled squad, solid performance, and a thriving attack, Flamengo arrives confidently to face Galo and fight for a spot in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. Mengão needs to win by two goals to qualify without resorting to penalty kicks, which would guarantee the coach his centennial milestone.
ATLÉTICO-MG: Everson; Saravia, Lyanco, Junior Alonso and Arana (Scarpa); Alexsander, Alan Franco, Scarpa (Igor Gomes); Ron, Hulk and Cuello. Coach: Cuca
FLAMENGO: Rossi; Emerson Royal, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Jorginho, Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luis
Despite interest from European clubs, Mengão guarantees that it has not received any official proposal and that the player remains in the club's plans.

Defender Léo Ortiz has once again been linked in Europe, this time as a potential target for Sporting Clube de Portugal . According to Portuguese broadcaster SIC Notícias, the club is considering submitting a proposal in the region of €15 million, plus bonuses, to try to convince Flamengo to release the defender.
However, sources at the Rio de Janeiro club consulted by this report state that Flamengo has no interest in negotiating Léo Ortiz at this time, and that the player himself also has no desire to leave the club. Flamengo's board considers the defender an important player in the squad and intends to keep him for the remainder of the season.
When contacted by Sporting insiders, the response was straightforward: "Unlikely. The Portuguese club would have to sell one of the defenders. I don't think they'll buy any more ." This indicates that, although there is speculation surrounding Ortiz's name, there are no concrete negotiations at this time.
According to our findings, no official offer has yet reached Flamengo, reinforcing that, at least for now, the defender remains 100% focused on the Rubro-Negro. In fact, the Mais Querido is considering entering the market for a defender.
Flamengo recently received an official offer from RB Leipzig of Germany for defender Léo Ortiz two weeks ago. The offer was around €15 million (approximately R$95.6 million), with €12 million fixed and €3 million tied to targets. However, Flamengo promptly rejected the offer.
