Flamengo gained bargaining power with Caixa Econômica in the negotiations for the acquisition of the Gasologista land, a site considered preferred for the construction of its own stadium. This is because the value offered by Rubro-Negro per square meter is higher than the company's valuation.
According to the “Ge” website, Rio de Janeiro City Hall paid R$ 1,533 per square meter. square meter in the location intended by Flamengo's board. In total, the municipal government purchased 26,617.03 square meters of land managed by the Caixa fund. It is worth highlighting that the construction of the Gentileza Terminal occupied 77 thousand square meters, but the remainder of the total belonged to a brewery and an old candle factory.
In this subtraction, we arrive at the value negotiated with Caixa previously mentioned. . However, the company is fighting in court against the Municipality alleging that there was a loss in the negotiation. In this way, R$12.9 million are charged to the public body, totaling R$53.7 million. Based on these numbers, the square meter of the area rises to R$2,018.
Thus, Flamengo gains great bargaining power in negotiations, considering that the club's management would be willing to pay R$ 2,873 per square meter. The initial Rubro-Negra offer is R$250 million for around 87 thousand square meters.
The value also exceeds the assessment by Fipe (Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas) which predicted the cost of R$236 million for the business, in 2022. Even correcting the amount for 2024 by the INCC (National Construction Cost Index), it would amount to around R$246 million, still below R$250 million.
Finally , the impasse over negotiating the land arises because Caixa believes that the region has increased in value in recent years. Therefore, the company is asking for R$400 million for the Rubro-Negro area of interest. Conversations remain paralyzed after a first meeting. Although Flamengo considers the region to be ideal for the project, it does not rule out building its own stadium elsewhere in Rio de Janeiro.
