Gabigol is leaving Flamengo and could return to the club where he formed his base and stood out before going to Europe. The striker was considered almost certain in Cruzeiro, but the 'fish' entered the dispute
Santos is interested in ensuring Gabigol’s return. The striker will leave Flamengo at the end of 2024 and was considered practically certain at Cruzeiro. However, the fish entered the dispute for the former Benfica – he was loaned by Inter in the first half of 2017/2018.

Marcelo Teixeira, president of Santos, confirmed the interest in Gabigol. Neymar has also been talked about for the fish.
Marcelo Teixeira states that he does not intend to create expectations, but admits that he has spoken to the Brazilian international's family
«Gabigol is a clear situation. We talked to the family, there was a great rapprochement, because there is a disagreement between him and the club. We wanted to know what his future case would be like. We understand the case, we look for alternative partners to make a proposal viable. We made a proposal to Gabigol. I know his family, I've known Gabriel since he was a teenager. I know their character. We are waiting for the decision,” he said, speaking to Sportv.

Gabigol, it is worth noting, made his base at Santos, which guaranteed his return to the Brasileirão after the 'drop' a year ago to the second tier, and it was at Vila Belmiro that he stood out before going to Europe, where he played for Inter and Benfica . He returned to Santos in 2018, then moved on to Flamengo.
