Behind the scenes: Landim’s statements about Gabigol’s renewal fall like a bomb on Flamengo football | Flamengo

Gabigol’s renewal (or not) at Flamengo continues to stir behind the scenes at the club.

Initially, an agreement was signed between the parties at the end of last year for a new contract until the end of 2028. There was even a toast to celebrate the renewal. However, the contract was never signed by President Rodolfo Landim, who had previously approved the agreement, but changed his mind and preferred to wait to make this decision later.

“Landim’s statements about Gabigol fell like a bomb in football”, says Eric Faria

– We are not giving up, we just won’t be held hostage to any value arbitrated by him, far above the market he has to renew. This was the main reason why we did not renew in the past. And no player will lose more if his contract is not renewed than him precisely because he is a great idol. The loss of image that he will have and will be reflected throughout his life will be brutal, I have no doubt about that.

“I think Flamengo needs to exhaust its attempts to keep Gabigol”, says Eric Faria
