Santos eyes sale of goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão amid financial woes

Santos Futebol Clube is grappling with a financial crisis that has forced the board to consider cutting its wage bill. The club is reportedly ready to negotiate the departure of goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão, whose contract situation has become tense. European interest has emerged, notably from Turkey's Besiktas, which previously offered €10 million for the keeper; Santos rejected that bid and now seeks a higher price.

On the pitch, Santos continues to battle near the relegation zone in the Brazilian Serie A. Forward Gabriel Barbosa (Gabigol) leads the team’s scoring with 14 goals and seven assists in 27 matches, while Argentine midfielder Benjamín Rollheiser has become a creative surprise with four goals and three assists. Veteran Neymar, despite recurring injuries, has contributed six goals and four assists in 15 games.
