Flamengo, current Brazilian champion and one of the most prestigious clubs in Brazil, has an issue that has caught the attention of fans and managers: the contract renewal of its star striker, Gabriel "Gabigol" Barbosa. The player's contract with the club is scheduled to expire only in December 2024, but both the board and fans are eager to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.According to GE, Negotiations to extend Gabigol's contract gained prominence recently, with Flamengo's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, taking the lead in the conversations. The relationship between Braz and Gabigol went through ups and downs, with a moment of discussion during halftime of a match against Fortaleza, in July. However, since then, tempers have calmed down and the relationship between the manager and the player has improved considerably.
Recently, there was an important advance in the negotiations when Marcos Braz participated in a meeting in Guarulhos. During this meeting, both the vice-president and Gabigol demonstrated their commitment to finding a satisfactory solution for both parties. The atmosphere seemed so positive that, later, Braz and Gabigol were seen hugging and demonstrating unity during a game against Athletico-PR, in Cariacica.
Gabigol's importance for Flamengo is indisputable. Since his arrival at the club in 2019, he has become one of the team's top scorers, helping Flamengo win important titles such as the Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores. His performance on the field, combined with his connection with the fans, made him an idol at Rubro-Negro.
However, uncertainty about Gabigol's future has caused apprehension among fans. The possibility of losing a player of his caliber would be a huge blow for Flamengo, which is why renewing his contract has become a priority for the club. In addition to Gabigol's sporting importance, there are also financial factors to consider. His sale to a foreign club could represent a huge profit for Flamengo, but the board is aware that keeping him in the squad is crucial to maintaining the team's competitiveness at national and international level.
The fans red-black is eager for positive news about Gabigol's renewal, and Flamengo's board is aware that time is running out, as the player's contract approaches its end. The negotiation is complex, involving issues of salary, contract length and other clauses, but both sides seem willing to find common ground.
In modern football, the stability of the main players is essential for success long term of a club. Therefore, renewing Gabigol's contract is seen as a top priority for Flamengo, who want to keep their star and continue competing at a high level. The negotiation saga is far from over, but hope for a positive outcome persists, both among fans and club directors.
While talks continue, Flamengo fans continue to fervently support Gabigol , hoping that he can continue to shine with the red-black shirt and win even more titles for the club. The fate of the top scorer is uncertain, but the love and passion for Flamengo remain unshakable, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations.

Flamengo will no longer make signings in 2024, this is what Marcos Braz guarantees. After qualifying for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, this Thursday (12), the vice-president of red-black football gave an interview in the mixed zone of Maracanã and confirmed that the club considered hiring a new striker after Pedro's injury. But the board's final decision is to trust the attackers who are in the squad.
“We believe in the end. There were four hired at the beginning of the year, four now. We raised the hypothesis of bringing in a striker, but we understood, talking to everyone, that it was bringing someone to actually solve it”, began Braz after Flamengo 1 x 0 Bahia.
The manager recalled that Gabigol and Bruno Henrique has already been very decisive with the Sacred Mantle and has all the capacity to take over the top scorer spot. Camisa 27, in fact, was the author of the assist for the winning goal this Thursday.
“Whoever we have here has solved our problem many times, like Gabigol, Bruno 9, as he did today. Flamengo has already closed the window. Let's go with what we have until the end, recovering players. Gabigol returned today.”.
Some attackers were offered after Pedro suffered a serious injury while serving the national team. The name that gained the most traction within Flamengo was that of Frenchman Anthony Martial, formerly of Manchester United, but the deal did not move forward. Now, Marcos Braz confirms that Mengão is no longer on the market.
Flamengo signed this season: De La Cruz, Viña, Léo Ortiz, Carlinhos, Michael, Alex Sandro, Carlos Alcaraz and Gonzalo Plata. Reinforcements that together cost R$298.2 million to the club's coffers.
“It happens in football. Gabriel solved our problems several times and resolved them well. I'm not casting, but there's Bruno Henrique himself, Carlinhos. We are comfortable (with these attackers) for the competitions”, added Braz.
Marcos Braz admits Gabigol's departure from FlamengoGabigol was the main theme of the football vice interview. Asked once again about a possible contract renewal, Braz finally acknowledged that the trend is for Camisa 99 to leave at the end of the season.
“There may be a chance of contract renewal. It’s not impossible, but, unfortunately, it’s unlikely today”, concluded Marcos Braz.
