In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.

The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.

According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.

This week, Flamengo announced the signing of two players for its professional squad, the left back Alex Sandro and the midfielder Carlos Alcaraz. And despite not having yet entered the field, the 33-year-old defender has already made his contribution to the red and black team by calling the young Argentine when Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel were at his house when signing his contract. The information is from the ‘GE’ portal.

Alex Sandro and Carlos Alcaraz were clubmates for a short period of time at Juventus, in Italy. The two were champions of the Coppa Italia in 2023/24, the Brazilian even scored a goal in the final, and they have a good relationship after the short months of coexistence. The proximity made the full-back get in touch with the midfielder after signing his contract.

The Argentine was excited about the possibility of being Alex Sandro's teammate again, he revealed in the video call held last Monday -feira (26), who did have the desire to play for Mais Querido and who wanted to be champion again alongside the Brazilian full-back. This was the green light for Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel to head to London.

In the English capital, the red and black directors followed Carlos Alcaraz's medical examinations and took the contract so that 'Charly', as he is called, sign with Flamengo until 2029. Negotiations with Southampton, the club that owned the Argentine's economic rights, were not easy.

Flamengo already had an agreement with the English club for 18 million euros (R$111 million) for the signing, but Southampton went back and asked the red and black club to include a young player, Victor Hugo , or increase the proposal to 25 million (R$ 154 million). Mengão initially denied both possibilities, but changed its stance and agreed to lend the young midfielder on loan with a purchase option set at 8 million euros for 80% of the economic rights or 6 million for 60%.

With the rough edges cut, Carlos Alcaraz had a free path to sign his contract and was announced by the club with a joke in allusion to its most famous namesake, the tennis player who is currently third in the world rankings, current Wimbledon champion and silver medalist in men's singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
