Caio Ribeiro lamentou a ausência de Luan no futebol brasileiro. Longe dos gramados há um ano, ele está cada vez mais próximo de ser considerado um ex-jogador. Craque do continente em 2017, o camisa 7 do Grêmio e Corinthians não emplacou boas temporadas.
No Timão, por exemplo, foi contratado com grande pompa, mas não conseguiu no clube paulista o mesmo sucesso, por exemplo, do Tricolor Gaúcho. Por lá, conquistou a Libertadores sendo protagonista e reconhecido como top-1 do continente.
“Foi eleito o melhor jogador da América quando o Grêmio foi campeão da Libertadores. Desistiu da carreira muito rápido”, disse Caio Ribeiro, em entrevista ao Ticaracaticast, no YouTube.
“O Luan quer muito voltar a jogar, mas ele passou por várias coisas nos últimos anos. Não é fácil carregar o peso que ele carrega…”.
Citado por Caio Ribeiro, Luan cogita aposentadoria
Com o passar do tempo, as propostas de volta ao futebol são reduzidas e Luan, 32 anos, hoje vive um cenário muito próximo da aposentadoria. Hoje, as chances de atuar no futebol brasileiro, sobretudo em um clube de expressão, diminuíram.
Desta forma, eventuais ofertas de um mercado secundário do exterior passam a ser consideradas. Diante de alguns questionamentos que o próprio atleta se faz, além de problemas físicos, o desejo de retomar a carreira parece cada vez mais distante.
Luan recebeu ameaças no Corinthians
Além da pressão esportiva que é normal no futebol, Luan, porém, viveu uma situação que extrapola qualquer crítica técnica. Localizado em um motel por torcedores do Corinthians, o meia foi agredido e ‘aconselhado’ a deixar o clube.
“Sai do Corinthians. Tem que respeitar o Corinthians. Você vai sair fora do Corinthians. Você está sugando o Corinthians. Você é um vacilão”, dizem os torcedores. “É o Gaviões, aqui não é brincadeira, não, xará”, completam, indicando a ligação com a maior organizada do clube.

Rafael Devers shoots down move to 1B after Triston Casas injury, lays into Red Sox front office
Rafael Devers entered the season under a cloud of controversy due to his disinterest in moving from third base to designated hitter. Now, he's balking at another move.The longtime third baseman has been a full-time designated hitter this season after the Boston Red Sox signed another All-Star at the position, Alex Bregman, over the offseason. However, the first base position is now wide open for Boston after Triston Casas' season-ending ruptured patellar tendon.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSome thought Devers would be a natural solution given that third basemen frequently make an appearance on the first base depth charts, but the 28-year-old shot the idea down and then some on Thursday.Through an interpreter, he told reporters the front office had approached him about the move and that his answer was a firm "no," via Christopher Smith of MassLive:“They had the conversation with me,” Devers said […]
Texans’ Jayden Higgins makes history with fully guaranteed deal: What he’ll bring to Houston
The Houston Texans and rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins made history Thursday by agreeing to a fully guaranteed contract, the first-ever for a second-round NFL draft pick, according to multiple reports.The four-year deal will pay Higgins just more than $11.7 million.Houston drafted the Iowa State star with the 34th pick after he caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns for the Cyclones last season.AdvertisementThe Texans went heavy on offense in the 2025 NFL Draft, as six of their nine picks went to that side of the ball. They even drafted Higgins’ college teammate Jaylin Noel, also a receiver, in the third round. Both pass catchers will play alongside another former Cyclones star, wideout Xavier Hutchinson.Houston will be relying on its young newcomers — and their ability to build rapport with quarterback C.J. Stroud — after losing Stefon Diggs […]
The Anaheim Ducks are eager to win again, but is hiring coach Joel Quenneville a good move?
ANAHEIM, Calif. — In an instant, Joel Quenneville became the most accomplished head coach the Anaheim Ducks have ever hired — and the one with the most baggage.The Ducks, in hiring the three-time Stanley Cup champion, whose stature may be forever tarnished by his role in a sexual assault scandal while he was the coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, let their mission be known: They’re out to win.AdvertisementThey’ve braced themselves for the blowback after the announcement on Thursday. For many, the idea of letting Quenneville back in the NHL is a non-starter. And the Ducks knew they would take a public relations hit for their choice when they easily could have avoided the fuss – if not outright scorn – by going in another direction. Multiple other candidates, including David Carle, Jay Woodcroft and Rick Tocchet, were interviewed.The thing is, […]
