Flamengo's behind-the-scenes are always something to talk about among fans and all football lovers. Last Saturday (29), good news ended up resonating. The early elimination of the Chilean team from the Copa América will make Erick Pulgar return early and be available to Tite, again. In fact, with his return, Léo Ortiz may lose space.
In the midst of this, the construction of the Mais Querido stadium continues to have repercussions. In fact, the expropriation of the Gasometer, the land on which the new Flamengo club will be built, divided opinions.
In participation in the Sports Finance program, from UOL Esporte, Paulo Vinícius Coelho, PVC defended the expropriation: “There is a confusion about this thing that the land is public. The important thing is the following: Caixa manages an investment fund called Porto Maravilha and which is part of the process of enabling the consortium urban operation, which was created to take degraded areas and transform them into revitalized areas. It was part of the Olympic project”, he began.
He went further: “And what happened with this viability of the consortium urban operation? It was not viable. You can argue that Caixa wanted to sell it for R$250 million reais and Flamengo could buy it at auction for R$180 million, but the City Hall carried out the expropriation, as in all expropriation they must pay the market value and everything is correct. (…) The land is part of a city revitalization process, so this is the point of discussion regarding public land. Almost all clubs in Brazil had some type of benefit.”
The journalist continued to justify his point: “For example, Palestra Itália bought the land from Companhia Antártica Paulista, but CT is a loan from the City Hall from São Paulo, so there is some benefit. In the case of Flamengo, it is part of the consortium urban operation, which was to revitalize that part of the city, so it makes perfect sense to expropriate it for the benefit of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro”, he concluded.
With little space in the professional team, the athlete remains in the base of Mais Querido after a new international investment; Pisa's loan proposal was denied

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.
Negotiations between the Portuguese club and Mais Querido evolve towards a definitive sale; the proposal pleased the board, and the contract is for a three-year term

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
