Flamengo purchased the land for R$ 138,195,000.00 for the construction of the new stadium, but they still don't know if this will be the total amount to keep the space in the Gasometer region. The rules of the city council's notice place responsibility for possible losses in court on the club's account, in the dispute between Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF) as litigant.
Articles 11.7 and 11.8 of the final version of the notice, dated July 9, make clear the obligation of the successful bidder (Flamengo ) in the payment of "any difference, if any, between the value of the winning bid at the auction and that fixed in the expropriation process".
In the terms of purchase and sale of the property, the club undertakes to assume any judicial liens, taxes, tariffs and fines levied on the property, "renouncing, irrevocably, the right to subsequently charge such amounts from the Municipality".
For the lawyer specializing in administrative law Francisco Defanti, these conditions create some uncertainty about the final amount to be paid by Flamengo to take over the land in the central region of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to directing any possible loss to the club.
"There is no up or down parameter low. The value could be very high. It's a risk. It is the main risk that Flamengo runs. For any bidder who enters this model, the risk is this: you don't know what the value set by the judge will be up front. And Flamengo is committed to paying the difference that may be determined by the judge. This is both in the notice and in the promise of purchase and sale" - said Defanti in an interview with the portal "Lance".
Flamengo trusts in well-done expertise
Flamengo is aware of the litigious process ahead and calculated the risks before entering the auction. This is what the report heard from sources linked to the red and black board. the winning bid, but trusts in the expertise carried out by the city hall and in the studies that indicate an appreciation of the site no greater than R$ 240 million.
Lance spoke with members of the club's Deliberative Council who raised the issue! to the board. Behind the scenes, the directors showed confidence in dialogue with the parties involved, despite the inevitable legal fight. When contacted by the report, Caixa reported that it "does not comment on judicial matters".
It may be that. the value is actually higher. And this is done through expertise. The expert may identify this value as above or below the value set by the City Hall. I think it's very difficult for City Hall's assessment to be wrong. I imagine that the City Hall's assessment is reasonably correct - added Francisco Defanti.
Expropriation process
In recent days, Caixa returned to court to ask for the annulment of the auction won by Flamengo. The bank criticized the allegedly biased process to favor Flamengo and criticized the amount of R$138.2 million. The entity is the administrator of the investment fund that owns the property.
Before the notice, Flamengo offered R$250 million to reach an agreement with the current owners. The expropriation process could have been carried out amicably, but there was no agreement. For this reason, the City of Rio initiated the expropriation process because it considered the property "abandoned and without fulfilling its social function".
Now, an expert was appointed by the Court to determine the value of the property. Any possible divergence with the assessment made by the city hall will be resolved by the judge.

Signed with star status, Gabigol is still seeking regular starting positions at Cruzeiro. Unlike what he became accustomed to during his years as a star player at Flamengo, the striker is currently in a transitional phase. Even though he's not a regular in the starting eleven, he's been touted as an important player in Leonardo Jardim's project.
Pedro Junio, vice president of the Minas Gerais club, emphasized in an interview with the program Donos da Bola that the number 9 did not disappoint. According to the director, the striker has fulfilled everything agreed upon at the time of his signing, both on the field and in marketing. " He delivers everything we agreed on, both in the sporting and commercial and marketing aspects . Gabriel was a package deal we signed, and he delivers," he noted.
BOARD DEFENDS GABIGOL'S PARTICIPATION
Since arriving at Toca da Raposa, Gabigol has started 11 matches, initially under Fernando Diniz and later under Leonardo Jardim. Following the 1-1 draw with São Paulo on April 13th, in the third round of the Brasileirão , the striker has lost his place in the starting lineup. Even so, management emphasizes that there is no dissatisfaction or bad blood behind the scenes.
" Cruzeiro's advantage is that everyone understands that Cruzeiro is the top priority. Regardless of who's playing or not," explained Pedro Junio, highlighting the positive internal atmosphere at the club and the players' maturity in accepting coaching decisions.
GABIGOL REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO CRUZEIRO
Despite recurring speculation that he's unhappy about not being a regular starter, Gabigol has publicly expressed his composure about this new phase. After the 2-0 victory over Vila Nova on May 1st in the Copa do Brasil , the striker addressed the issue directly.
" I'm very calm about it. I know the pressure there is , and there are a lot of people who say things without realizing it. I try to work hard, show my football skills on the field," he said. On that occasion, the striker also highlighted the welcome he received at the club and reinforced his desire to continue contributing.

Flamengo's presence at the Club World Cup extended beyond the pitch. The direct impact on official merchandise sales highlighted the power of the red-and-black brand. According to data from Neotrust, an e-commerce monitoring company, the club saw a 55.1% increase in official jersey sales between June 15th and 30th.
AN OVERCHARGE OF THE MOST LOVED
In the same 15-day period the previous month, approximately 5,200 units had been sold. During the World Cup, the number jumped to 8,063 units, boosted by the club's significant participation in the tournament.
According to Vanessa Martins, marketing director at Neotrust, fan-consumer behavior is increasingly immediate. "Today's consumer doesn't wait to win a title to wear the jersey; they react in real time, driven by emotion and digital belonging," she explained. This movement reveals a growing engagement among the red-and-black fans, who respond quickly to moments of high club exposure, such as the match against Chelsea and the iconic victory over the English side.
GIANT NUMBERS OF THE MOST LOVED
Although not the highest percentage growth, Flamengo recorded the highest absolute sales volume among the Brazilian clubs participating in the Club World Cup. For comparison:
Flamengo: 8,063 shirts sold (+55.1%)
Fluminense: 3,129 shirts sold (+55.9%)
Palmeiras: 7,322 shirts sold (+16.6%)
Botafogo: 901 shirts sold (+37.8%)

Beyond its commercial strength, Flamengo 's World Cup campaign also generated financial returns on the field. According to the data released, the club received US$27.71 million (approximately R$151.06 million) in bonuses paid by FIFA.
