The auction for the purchase of the Gasologista land is scheduled for July 31st. If Flamengo wins the process, whose minimum value is R$138.1 million, it will have the place to build its own stadium. The notice published by Rio City Hall contains some details raised by architect Fabricio Chicca, from the Mundo na Bola channel. Among them, good news for Mengão.
If Rubro-Negro buys the land from Gasologista and there is a suspensive condition during the works, the impediment will not be an obstacle for Flamengo to continue with its licensing and housing processes for the site.
“For the purposes of municipal licensing of the works necessary to fulfill the obligations that justified the expropriation, the suspensive condition provided for in item 4.2 will not be an obstacle to obtaining the appropriate licenses and /or issuance of the certificate of occupancy”
The matter was explained by Chicca: “This is a precaution in the event of a small problem. In other words, a documentary problem, some discussion due to the size of the land, any problem in this regard. The idea is that the process does not stop and the interested party (Flamengo) is able to develop the project (until it is resolved)”, he pointed out.
Flamengo will also have to fulfill obligations for Gasometer
In another part of the notice, the City Hall was clear and warned Flamengo and other potential interested parties that the buyer will not be able to claim ignorance of the land's conditions and not comply with contractual obligations.
“Under no circumstances will ignorance of the state in which the property is located, whether in relation to the measurements, characteristics, functionalities, conversion status or its intrinsic or extrinsic qualities, as well as the registration conditions, be alleged as justification for the failure to execute the proposal”
Fabricio Chicca recalled the issue of contamination in the Gasometer soil. The area was a storage and distribution area for manufactured gas: “This is protection against contamination. It is a general protection from the City of Rio de Janeiro due to the size of the land, but above all, it includes the environmental problem. Whoever buys the land assumes environmental liabilities. If the land is contaminated, whoever buys it takes responsibility”, he concluded.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.
