Cruzeiro is just waiting for the end of Gabigol’s contract with Flamengo to announce the signing of the striker, as published O TIME Sportss this Friday (13). This is because the player has a contract with the Rio club until December 31st.
Raposa and the athlete have already agreed on the conditions of the contract, although the parties have not yet confirmed it. The announcement is expected to be made on January 2, when Cruzeiro will celebrate its 104th anniversary.
Despite this, the president of Santos, Marcelo Teixeira, continues to dream of the striker trained at his own club.
In an interview with Santa Cecília TV, Teixeira said that Gabigol was “shaken” by the idea of returning to the São Paulo club.
“When Santos made this gesture, he messed with the staff and the player. If it hadn’t been like that, the fact would have already come to fruition. It wasn’t yet because you’re maturing, on both sides, the possibility of this happening But it is very difficult to achieve something like this”, said the director.
Despite dreaming of big names, Teixeira said he will not make any “daring” decisions when signing. “When you think about an individual athlete like Gabriel, Dudu (who left Palmeiras and is also negotiating with Cruzeiro), it’s audacious for you to try to do it without cost. Santos goes to the market to try to bring a player to be able to maintain a work philosophy winning, but that doesn’t mean it will burden the club’s coffers”, stated the president.
Player’s parents in BH
Photos of Gabigol’s parents walking along Avenida do Contorno, in the central-south region of Belo Horizonte, went viral on social media on Friday. Valdemir Silva and Lindalva Barbosa arrived in the capital of Minas Gerais on Thursday (11), as determined by the TEMPO Sports.
Gabigol’s parents would be in BH to choose the place where their son will reside, if the agreement with Raposa is confirmed.
