Flamengo will vote next Wednesday (11/09), at a meeting of the Deliberative Council (CoDe), on an amendment with the aim of hindering the implementation of a SAF (Sociedade Anônima de Futebol). In 2022, the club received a "financial advisory proposal" with structure models and potential investors interested in acquiring a minority stake.
The amendment was presented by advisor Rodrigo Gustavo Rötzsch, member of the political group "Flamengo Maior", and was prepared in collaboration with "Flamengo Sem Fronteiras" and other political groups.
“It is an amendment creating voting rules if one day someone proposes the creation of a SAF. Today there are no rules in the Statute, it is an omitted matter. If Landim proposed, voting would be normal in the (Deliberative) Council. In this amendment, I and 200 other councilors are basically proposing two rules: that it not be voted on in the Deliberative Council, but rather in a general assembly with 60% of the members able to vote, which is currently 6 thousand. So there would have to be at least 3,600 voting, and it would have to be a qualified approval of 2/3 of the quorum, today there would be 2,400 in favor. And another point is to create a quarantine: anyone who has been a leader in the previous three years cannot take on a paid position at the SAF for six years,” explained Rötzsch in an interview with the 'GE' portal.
With 217 signatures, a number well above the minimum requirement of 50 to be taken to CoDe, the amendment has the support of three pre-candidates for Flamengo's election in December: Maurício Gomes de Mattos, who receives the support of the "Flamengo Maior" group, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap , and Wallim Vasconcellos. The current candidate, Rodrigo Dunshee, justified that he cannot sign the amendment because he is part of the committee that analyzes all proposals. Rötzsch is optimistic that the amendment will be approved.
“What I've heard is that it looks like it will be approved. All amendments go through a statute committee, which can propose changes, but we managed, thanks to the 200 or so signatures, that it will be voted on as a highlight, without changing anything. It has broad support, we think it will pass. If Flamengo one day thinks that becoming SAF is the best path, let it be a movement that the majority of partners agree with and not be approved by 100, 200 or 300 people” he concluded.
In an interview with 'GE ' at the beginning of the year, President Rodolfo Landim once again stated that he was in favor of establishing a SAF at the club if this would allow Flamengo to build its stadium without putting Mais Querido in debt, suggesting a model similar to Bayern Munich, selling 25% of its capital.
"Create a company that owns football, and I dilute it like what Bayern did, which sold 25% of that company with a capital increase. So , if 75% is worth R$4.5 billion, put R$1.5 billion on this side and keep 25%. I can sell it to three guys like Bayern did: one who wants the naming rights, one who wants it. to associate with Flamengo for 50 years because of the importance that Flamengo has or because of any strategic aspect that it can bring. And then I have the money to build the stadium", said Landim.
The player was unable to perform as expected at Mengão after his signing and the Galo coach is a fan of the athlete's football.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .
Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
