Will Gabigol become a permanent Santos player?

Gabigol has changed clubs for the second consecutive season. After leaving Flamengo, the striker signed a contract with Cruzeiro. However, in 2026, the player will wear the Santos jersey. The São Paulo team even announced the signing this Saturday (03).
