Flamengo’s president talks about Gabigol’s situation: “I’m not…”

The president RudolphLandim met with the “Advocacia Rubro-Negra” group this Friday. At the meeting, he was asked why he had not renewed his contract with Gabigol and again listed the reasons why there are still imbroglios involving the Flamengo board and the striker.

A fallinperformance and the controversies involving the striker are some of the reasons for not renewing Landim. The fans, however, understand that Gabigol is idol of the team and should have his contract renewed. The Flamengo president does not see it that way.

The problem is that it’s my responsibility, and I’m going to sign a five-year contract with Gabigol when he’s performing much worse than he did in his first years at Flamengo? At this point, I know that we’re playing into the player’s idolatry, the fans sometimes get angry, but they’re not the ones who do the club’s accounts, they’re not the ones who have to pay the salary at the end of the year. I know that this causes a lot of stress for the administrator, but man, I’m sorry. I’m not sitting in that chair to make decisions based on gratitude that I have for anyone – said the director.

Despite the statement, Rodolfo Landim said in a podcast that he wants the striker in the squad. However, far from requirements which he asks for as a 5-year contract. The president wants Gabigol to demonstrate on the field that he is worth what he asks for.

Palm trees It is Corinthians appear as clubs interested in the striker, however, negotiations with him have not progressed. Gabigol can now sign a pre-contract with any club.
