Negotiation of goalkeeper Gabriel could undergo a turnaround

The goalkeeper Gabriel who belongs to Coritiba and defended Juventude in the last Brasileirão, had everything arranged to defend the Victory in 2025. But the negotiation could take a turn.

The player had a verbal agreement with the management of the Bahian club to agree on a contract for three seasons. Coxa would receive around R$1.7 million as compensation for the archer’s release.

However, the continued presence of the starting goalkeeper Lucas Archangel could change Gabriel’s situation at Barradão. Arcanjo had negotiations underway with Fluminense, with Gabriel arriving to take charge of the Bahian club for the season.

However, Arcanjo’s transaction for Flu ended up not happening and he must remain at Vitória. With that, Gabriel would have to compete for the position. And he was dissatisfied with the risk of ending up on the bench. The information was published by the newspaper The afternoon.

“He [Arcanjo] You cannot lose out. And it won’t come out. He remains Vitória’s goalkeeper along with Gabriel. We will have two excellent goalkeepers to compete in five competitions”, stated the president of Vitória, Fábio Mota, in an interview with Dynamic Channel.

Gabriel has a contract with Coxa until December 2026.

Gabriel wants to give up Vitória and renew with Juventude

Given this scenario, Gabriel reopened conversations with Juventude for a possible renewal with the club from Rio Grande do Sul. If this happens, Coxa would not receive the amount agreed with Vitória for the negotiation and a new negotiation would begin.

At Juventude, Gabriel had a great season and understands that he could continue as an absolute starter for the Caxias do Sul team. The club from Rio Grande do Sul, by the way, shows optimism in a positive outcome for the player’s stay.

Gabriel arrived at Coritiba in 2022 after a long period in Italian football. Revealed by Cruzeiro, he was sold quite young to Milan. In the country, he also defended Carpi, Napoli, Cagliari, Empoli, Perugia and Lecce before arriving at Alto da Glória.

After a trajectory of ups and downs, marked by some failures, the goalkeeper ran out of steam at Coritiba and ended up loaned to Juventude, where he made 46 appearances in the 2024 season.
