Journalist claims Gabigol will leave Cruzeiro in 2026 | OneFootball

Why is Gabigol leaving Cruzeiro in 2026?

Gabigol will not remain at Cruzeiro next season. That's because, according to journalist Alê Oliveira, the striker has not pleased the Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim.

Furthermore, according to the journalist, Cruzeiro's investment in Gabigol is very high for a striker who has often been on the bench. For this reason, the center-forward 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. Because of this, the coach has not fielded the striker alongside Kaio Jorge at Cruzeiro.

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

Did Gabigol play today for Cruzeiro against Fluminense?

Yes! The player was on the field in the Cruzeiro vs. Fluminense match. The striker came on at the 23rd minute of the second half in place of Arroyo. However, the center-forward was unable to find the back of the net and the match ended 0-0.
