It seems like Nação rubro-negra will come to fruition: the stadium. This is because Rodolfo Landim met in a meeting this past Friday (12) with the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, with deputy Pedro Paulo, and with the general vice-president, Rodrigo Dunshee.


< According to information from journalist Lauro Jardim, from "O Globo", the conversations with the mayor and the deputy were around the approval and eventual transfer of the constructive potential of the Gávea headquarters. This is because this factor should help in the construction of the new stadium Flamengo.


"OK" BY EDUARDO PAES


Highlighting that the so-called "constructive potential" refers to the right to build in a location, which can make the land have more or less value. This measure is used to control urban growth, according to each city's master plan. Thus, after the meeting, Eduardo Paes gave the "OK" so that Mais Querido can build its stadium.

Now, the assessment of how much the land in Gasmetro is worth (including what can be built on it ) is being carried out by Caixa Econômica Federal. This is because the location belongs to an investment fund managed by the bank. According to Eduardo Paes, the value could exceed R$ 1 billion.


NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN RUBRO-NEGRO AND CAIXA

After receiving the "ok" from the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo will continue negotiating the purchase of land with Caixa Econômica Federal. According to journalist Lauro Jardim, despite the various meetings held, for now, there is no chance of the agreement being closed. This is because there are still divergences between the assessments that the parties made of the property.

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Grêmio last Sunday (31), at Maracanã, in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

Filipe Luís reveals what he will do at Flamengo during the FIFA World Cup: "define the main areas in which the team needs to improve"


"Starting tomorrow, I'll begin analyzing our performance and identifying the key areas where the team needs to improve. The result was 1-1, but the game doesn't reflect that. We did a lot of good things, both defensively and offensively ," the coach emphasized.


Filipe then reinforced his view of the team's performance: "We did more than enough to come away with a positive result. The score doesn't fool me. I'm always realistic about what happens on the field . In the 8-0 loss, I had things to fix, and in this game, we'll also have points to fix, with Juventude in mind," the coach concluded.

FIFA DATE PLANNING


With the national calendar suspended, the red-black squad was given a day off until Thursday (4). The return is scheduled for Friday (5), at Ninho do Urubu. The period will be used by the coaching staff to prepare for the decisive stretch of the season, which includes Libertadores knockout games and direct clashes for the Brazilian title.

Former Flamengo player Lucas Paquetá's celebration against Nottingham Forest, with a mock rejection of a call and a kiss on the crest, went beyond the euphoria of the goal. The gesture reflected the outcome of a negotiation: West Ham rejected Aston Villa's terms and decided to keep the midfielder.


REJECTED PROPOSAL


The Birmingham club offered £47 million (R$347 million), but in installments: an initial loan, an obligation to buy after one year, and additional bonuses . The Hammers didn't like this format, and they're demanding around £50 million (R$369 million) to release the player.


EARLY TRAVEL

Given the uncertainty, there was a possibility that Paquetá would remain in London until the window closed , this Monday (1st), for medical exams and bureaucratic procedures. However, the Brazilian boarded the plane to Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.


PRESENTATION TO SELECTION

West Ham's number 10 is expected this Monday at Granja Comary in Teresópolis to report to Carlo Ancelotti. This will be his first call-up in 2025, after absences in March under Dorival Júnior and in June under the Italian coach. Paquetá had been investigated for alleged involvement in betting but was recently acquitted.

HEATED MARKET

Having just turned 28, the Flamengo youth product remains highly valued in the European market and is expected to be a target for clubs again in the January window . At the start of the season, he scored three goals in four appearances for West Ham, all of which came in the Hammers' last three games.

BRAZIL'S NEXT COMMITMENTS

The Brazilian National Team begins training this Monday at Granja Comary, with an eye on the last two rounds of the Qualifiers . On Thursday (4), they face Chile at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). On the 9th, they face Bolivia, at 8:30 pm, in El Alto, at an altitude of 4,100 meters.
