The dream of our own stadium is starting to come to fruition, and Gasologista land will be auctioned on July 31st, at 2:30 pm (Brasília time). This is when Flamengo must offer the minimum bid of R$138 million to secure the location.
But the auction notice, which came out a few days after the Decree by Eduardo Paes (PSD) that expropriated the land, showed several requirements to be met so that the club can build its stadium on the site. One of them involves capacity.
The capacity of the stadium on the Gasometer ground must be for at least 70 thousand people. In other words, approximately what Flamengo currently offers for sale at Maracanã games. But this is just a base, and the stadium cannot have anything less than that. The 80,000 seats, initially imagined by Rodolfo Landim, could still happen.
This is what federal deputy Pedro Paulo (PSD) indicates, a flamenco fan who was also at the forefront of trying to make the Gasometer land viable for the Flamengo. An ally of Eduardo Paes, Pedro Paulo gave the following explanation:
“We have established the minimum criteria. The 70 thousand seats are a reference to guide the bidding. Nothing prevents the stadium from having a capacity of 80 thousand. The convention center is an idea that can be part of the project. It is not prohibited. The final project will be detailed up front by whoever wins the auction”, explains the politician.
If it buys land, Flamengo should open a stadium by 2029
The notice also provides for other very important points, such as the schedule and deadlines for the bidder to complete the plans. After the purchase, Flamengo must complete the final project within a year and a half.
In addition, it will be three years after obtaining the licenses for the works. Thus, totaling four and a half years. This means that Rubro-Negro would be inaugurating its new stadium, at the latest, in 2029.
The details are given in the following excerpt from the notice: “The project, to be presented within 18 months from the date of date of signature of the Purchase and Sale Promise Term, and executed within up to 36 months extendable in accordance with the law, counting from its licensing, it must be prepared preferably in three stages: Needs Program, Cost Estimate and Physical Schedule and Presentation of Technical Documentation.”
Rodolfo Landim has already confirmed that he wants a stadium for 80 thousand
Flamengo President, Rodolfo Landim already spoke about the topic in April, at GE, and confirmed that the desire is to build a stadium for 80 thousand fans.
“Yes it is (it is possible to place a stadium for 80 thousand people in an area of 87 thousand m²). We have already created a preliminary project for the placement of this stadium. It would still give us the chance to create a large square in front. Around this square, we could put a series of restaurants, spots and so on. In this square, we could even put up big screens for those who don't have the means to go to the big games or for those who can't get tickets”, he comments.

With little space in the professional team, the athlete remains in the base of Mais Querido after a new international investment; Pisa's loan proposal was denied
|
Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.
Negotiations between the Portuguese club and Mais Querido evolve towards a definitive sale; the proposal pleased the board, and the contract is for a three-year term

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
