Part 5/8:
In a move that shocked many, Flamengo returned with only a one-year contract proposal for Gabriel. This was seen not only as insufficient but almost insulting given the player's contributions and legacy at the club. With the context of other players being offered more substantial agreements, the disparity became glaringly evident. Criticism swirled around the idea that a player of Gabriel's caliber should "prove" himself for another year, especially considering his significant impact during his tenure, notably in securing titles for Flamengo.
