Gabriel Menino is expected to join Santos to replace Victor Hugo. The midfielder, on loan to Santos from Flamengo until mid-year, is about to be negotiated with Atlético-MG, according to ESPN. The Minas Gerais club, therefore, agreed to negotiate the 25-year-old midfielder with the Peixe.

Gabriel Menino primarily plays as a midfielder but has also taken on other roles throughout his career, such as a wide midfielder and even as a full-back.

If the negotiations are confirmed, Gabriel Menino is expected to be Santos' second reinforcement for the season. Before the midfielder, the Alvinegro Praiano secured the arrival of Gabigol from Cruzeiro, also on a one-year loan.

It is worth noting that Santos is also in negotiations to sign midfielder Felipe Loyola from Independiente.
