Journalist claims Gabigol will leave Cruzeiro in 2026 | OneFootball

Why is Gabigol leaving Cruzeiro in 2026?

Gabigol will not remain at Cruzeiro next season. This is because, according to journalist Alê Oliveira, the forward has not impressed the Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim.

Furthermore, according to the journalist, Cruzeiro's investment in Gabigol is too high for a forward who has frequently been on the bench. Therefore, the striker will not stay with the Minas Gerais team in 2026.

Does Cruzeiro's coach like Gabigol?

Another important point highlighted by journalist Alê Oliveira is that coach Leonardo Jardim does not like Gabigol's style of play. For this reason, the coach has not been fielding the forward alongside Kaio Jorge at Cruzeiro.

Finally, Alê Oliveira noted that Gabigol, Pedrinho (Cruzeiro's president), and Leonardo Jardim are already aware of the change for the 2026 season. However, the professionals will not comment on the subject at this year's end.

Did Gabigol play today for Cruzeiro against Fluminense?

Yes! The player was on the field in the Cruzeiro vs. Fluminense match. The forward came on in the 23rd minute of the second half, replacing Arroyo. However, the striker did not manage to score, and the match ended 0-0.
