Ex-Flamengo star Gabigol could leave Cruzeiro for a move to an Arab club | OneFootball

Gabigol became a substitute at Cruzeiro due to Kaio Jorge's good performance

Gabigol left Flamengo at the beginning of this season, after not renewing his contract with the red-black team to sign with Cruzeiro. However, the former striker of Mais Querido may leave the Minas Gerais club and agree to a transfer to Arab football.

According to 'Rádio Tupi', Gabigol has an uncertain future at Cruzeiro. This is because the former Flamengo player became a substitute and also aroused interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the former striker of Mais Querido may leave Brazilian football, if there is a positive outcome for the negotiation.

WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR A POSSIBLE DEPARTURE?

Currently, Gabigol became a substitute at Cruzeiro due to the great phase of Kaio Jorge, top scorer of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the Belo Horizonte team has been looking for reinforcements in the market for the attack. Finally, the player aroused interest from international clubs.

HOW IS GABIGOL'S SEASON GOING?

Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro at the beginning of the season. In 2025, the former Flamengo player participated in 30 games for the team led by Leonardo Jardim. During this period, he scored 11 goals and provided four assists to his team mates.

AND FLAMENGO?

While Gabigol and Cruzeiro are already eliminated from international tournaments, Flamengo continues active. Last Wednesday (13), the red-black team defeated Internacional by 1 to 0 and took the lead in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, in a match played at Maracanã. Bruno Henrique was the author of the only goal.
