Santos’ reinforcement for 2026, Gabigol was a topic during Tite’s presentation at Cruzeiro. The coach, who has previously been involved in controversy with the striker, wished the player success at Peixe.

“We look ahead, I wish him success, that he’s happy and can return to give Cruzeiro, when the time is right, the best possible situation, but I want to focus on my work. I hope he’s happy,” he said.

Gabigol was loaned for a season to the Alvinegro Praiano. The number 9 had no space at Raposa and made it clear, during his presentation, that he requested a transfer to the club that first introduced him to football.

Dispute with Tite

The 29-year-old striker has a historically troubled relationship with Tite. The two have had disagreements that began due to the Brazilian National Team and intensified at Flamengo between 2023 and 2024.
