YOU HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE IN! FLAMENGO HAS "TRANQUILITY" TO DO BUSINESS FOR THE LAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STADIUM

Flamengo and Lazio advanced in negotiations to sign midfielder Marcos Antônio. The player, who has already accepted the Rio club's offer, should be signed on loan with an obligation to buy if certain goals are achieved. However, there are still disagreements regarding the triggers and final values ​​of the operation, according to information from the GE website.

It is agreed that Flamengo will pay an amount for the one-year loan, which will be deducted if the club opts to definitively purchase the player. . The figures for the definitive purchase are being discussed, with expectations of values ​​between 5 and 6 million euros, in addition to bonuses.

The main divergence between the clubs is in the clause that obliges Flamengo to buy the player if he participates in 50% of the games during the loan period. Flamengo and Lazio are still debating what the definition of participation in games will be: whether it will only count appearance, ownership, or the number of minutes played (45 or 90 minutes on the field).

Flamengo prefers that the purchase trigger be related to ownership or the condition of the player playing for 90 minutes. If the goal is not met, the purchase option will be the choice of the Rio club. Despite the impasse, Flamengo is confident that it will find a satisfactory agreement with Lazio and will have Marcos Antônio as a reinforcement in the next transfer window.

Marcos Antônio, 24 years old, is a creation of Athletico-PR's youth teams and a contemporary of Vini Jr in the youth teams. The midfielder has spent time at Estoril, in Portugal, and Shakhtar Donetsk, in Ukraine. He was bought by Lazio in 2023 and loaned to PAOK, from Greece, last season, where he was national champion.

Former BBB member Gabi Martins and federal deputy Euclydes Pettersen were spotted together at a wedding party in Governador Valadares, in the interior of Minas Gerais. The singer and the politician were photographed side by side in a selfie taken by other guests at the event. So far, Gabi Martins has not spoken openly about the relationship and prefers not to post anything about the subject on social media.

In January, the newspaper EXTRA revealed the affair between the two, highlighting that they spent the year new together in Pernambuco, accompanied by friends. The trip extended to Caraíva and Trancoso, in Bahia, including a helicopter ride. After the trip, Gabi returned to Nova Lima, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, where she lives with her family. Euclydes, in turn, divides himself between the capital of Minas Gerais and Governador Valadares, his hometown.

In February, when asked about her relationship with the deputy, Gabi declined to talk. "I'm single, working, focused on my career. I spent Carnival busy, fulfilling a schedule", stated the ex-BBB. Gabi has not been in a relationship since she broke up with gamer Lincoln Lau, in March 2023, after three months together. At the time, she claimed to have been cheated on, while Lincoln claimed to have been attacked by his ex-girlfriend.

Despite public appearances, Gabi Martins maintains discretion about her relationship with Euclydes Pettersen. So far, she has not made any posts about the affair, preferring to focus on her musical career and professional projects.

The expropriation of the Gasometer land, announced by Rio de Janeiro City Hall, was considered a fundamental step for Flamengo to advance in the construction project of its own stadium. Now, there are a series of steps and bureaucratic procedures to be completed.

“We are in a preliminary phase. Expropriation is an institute of administrative law, which serves the purpose of transferring the movable or real estate property of a private individual to the public authority for reasons of legal interest. Law 3365 of 41 regulates the cases in which expropriation is applicable and, among them, is for reasons of reurbanization and construction of a stadium. Therefore, it is clearly within the legal hypotheses. The publication of the expropriation decree in the Official Gazette begins this transfer process”, began Felipe Fonte, from FGV Direito Rio.

After the publication of the decree in the Official Gazette, Flamengo awaits the publication of the notice of bidding for the auction of the land, which belongs to Caixa Econômica Federal. The City Hall's decision came after Flamengo and Caixa failed to reach an agreement on the value of the 88 thousand square meter plot of land, in the São Cristóvão neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio.

Professor Felipe Fonte explained in What is the position of Caixa Econômica Federal as of this decree, remembering that the company may contest the value defined by the municipality of the land.

“The municipality has a technical body that carries out an expert assessment. In this case, you have already done so to find out how much the property is worth. You will then arrive at Caixa and ask if you accept this amount as a form of payment. If Caixa says yes, the expropriation process is over, the property will be transferred and that's it," said Felipe Fonte, before addressing another possibility.

"If the answer is no, the municipality will have to file a lawsuit, which we call an expropriation action. The objective, in a very brief way, is to verify whether the price offered by the municipality is fair. In this process, there will be a judicial examination, where the parties will be able to indicate their respective technical assistants. discussed and a value will be reached that will be declared by the judge in a sentence. The transfer of the property will only occur when the municipality actually pays this amount fixed in the sentence”, he concluded.

The Gasmetro land was defined as “favorite location” by the Flamengo board for the project of its own stadium in 2022. Ease of access is a determining point for the decision, which evaluated other points in the city of Rio de Janeiro, such as Deodoro and Parque Olímpico, in Barra da Tijuca, both in the West Zone, but these options did not prove to be viable.

Gasologista is part of the Porto Maravilha Project region, an area that has received investment for urban revitalization for years. The location is close to the Novo Rio Bus Station and the recently opened Gentileza Intermodal Terminal, and to the city's main entrance roads, such as Linha Vermelha, Avenida Brasil and Ponte Rio-Niterói.
