According to sources close to the family, Valdemir Silva and Lindalva Barbosa were looking for a house for the player in a gated community in the city of Lagoa Santa, located in the metropolitan area of the capital of Minas Gerais.
While his parents are in Minas Gerais, Gabigol is enjoying his vacation in Japan after bidding farewell to Flamengo in the last round of the Brazilian Championship, a 2-2 draw against Vitória at Maracanã. Coincidentally, the striker announced that he would not stay at Flamengo in Belo Horizonte, following their 1-0 victory over Atlético-MG, which secured the Copa do Brasil title.
Despite all signs pointing to a deal, both parties deny any kind of negotiation. In an interview with the “Pod Pah” podcast last week, Gabriel Barbosa stated that he hasn’t agreed with any club yet and that he has several options in mind.
The Celeste team, in turn, also denies any negotiations, and the expectation is that he will be officially announced on January 2nd, the club’s 104th anniversary. Stay ahead of the curve with ToSport.
