With the arrival of Tite, Flamengo is starting to outline the reformulation of the squad for 2024 and the renewal of Gabigol is well underway. The club has decided to bring forward this deal, given that the number 10’s contract expires at the end of 2024. As a result, people within the club have criticized Rodolfo Landim’s management. Among the most fervent is the FlaFut group, which has expressed its opposition to the extension of the restriction until the end of 2028.
This political group was a supporter of the current president, but in recent months has adopted a more opposition-oriented position. According to them there is no justification for continuing negotiations and making a large investment. If both parties sign the agreement, the player will reach 10 years at the club.

“The FlaFLUT Group hopes that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa will be honored by Flamengo with a statue in Gávea, paying him full homage for everything he has done for the history of our club! Only Gabigol and Zico scored goals in the Libertadores final We will never forget it!
The FlaFUT group hopes that the current board does not renew the contract of athlete Gabriel Barbosa for values higher than the current ones, which are already exorbitant, and for a period of time that would influence future decisions of other boards. There is no justification for the renewal given the player’s current performances.
Gabigol’s technical, physical, mental and disciplinary aspects are clearly below what he was hired for. And it has already been delivered. The board should adapt the new contract to a level more suited to performance, introducing targets and rewards for performance.
Should another smaller club come forward with an official proposal that covers the value offered by Flamengo, FlaFUT will be the first to speak in defense of the board.”
Idol and records
The striker was one of the first reinforcements under Landim at Flamengo at the beginning of 2019. At the time he arrived on loan from Inter. In his first season, Gabigol scored two goals in the epic comeback against River Plate, which lifted Flamengo from the tail and secured the long-awaited second Libertadores championship.
Since then, the striker has lifted the trophy 11 times, with 153 goals in 264 games. Thus, he became the sixth highest scorer in the club’s history and consolidated his name among one of the biggest idols in the club’s history.
After the club bought 90% of the top scorer rights in 2020, he returned decisively two years later. In Guayaquil it was the number 10 who sealed the Libertadores’ triumph over Atletico-PR. Despite not having had a good season, the management does not want to lose a decisive player who identifies with the fans.
