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

Gabigol becomes a reserve at Cruzeiro due to Kaio Jorge's good performance

Gabigol left Flamengo at the beginning of this season, after not renewing the contract with the red and black team to close with Cruzeiro. However, the former center-forward of the Mais Querido may leave the Minas Gerais club and agree on 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 reserve and also sparked the interest of Saudi Arabian clubs. Thus, the former center-forward of the Mais Querido may leave Brazilian football, in case there is a positive outcome for the negotiation.

WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR A POSSIBLE EXIT?

Currently, Gabigol has become a reserve at Cruzeiro due to Kaio Jorge's great phase, top scorer of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the Belo Horizonte team has been seeking reinforcements in the market for the attack. Finally, the player has sparked the interest of international clubs.

HOW IS GABIGOL'S SEASON?

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. In this period, he scored 11 goals and provided four assists for his teammates.

AND FLAMENGO?

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