On Monday morning, Flamengo and Rio de Janeiro City Hall signed a term of commitment that aims to href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/entenda-os-valores-da-construcao-do-novo-estadio-do-flamengo" target="_blank">enable the construction of the stadium in Gasologista , using the constructive potential of the headquarters in Gávea. The club expects to raise around R$500 million through Cepac (Certificate of Additional Construction Potential) from Gávea. The estimated total cost of the stadium is around R$2 billion.


The agreement signed with the city hall provides for the preparation of a Bill that will regulate a consortium operation , allowing the transfer of the right to build from Gávea to novo project. This model has already been adopted by Vasco for the renovation of São Januário, although the club still faces delays in regulation. The possibility of using Cepacwas a determining factor for the red-black board to consider the project viable without the need to transform Flamengo into a SAF.


“The city hall not only helped us in the process, by expropriating the land, by renegotiating the entire construction potential that existed on that land for other areas, ceding this and working to ensure that this was done in a mediation process with AGU. How it is still helping us to direct the constructive potential here in Gávea like money stamped for the construction of our stadium. Doing quick calculations here, this help, the removal of the constructive potential there and offering us this constructive potential here, gives us an impact of more or less R$ 1 billion to help us in this stadium” explained Rodolfo Landim, at the beginning of the event.


The event took place in the main hall of the club's headquarters and was attended by important figures, such as the mayor Eduardo Paes, sports secretary Guilherme Schleder, federal deputy Pedro Paulo, and Flamengo, including the president Rodolfo Landim, the vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, football vice Marcos Braz and CEO Reinaldo Belotti. In addition to them, the candidates for the club's presidency in the December election were also present, Rodrigo Dunshee (current deputy general and legal) and Maurício Gomes de Mattos.

President Rodolfo Landim stated that the signing of the agreement is a kind of accountability with the city ​​hall, taking into account the demands of the executive power of the city of Rio de Janeiro and the urbanization of the region.


“It worked as aaccountability for the city hall, let's say, of the evolution of the project and everything that was demanded in terms of adequacy, the requirementsthat the city hall had on part urban planning also made the adequacy of this work and the entire urbanization of that region. And also for the signing of that formal commitment that the mayor had already made to give us the construction potential here in Gávea, which as he explained well today would be something that we would have the right to build the internship here, to be able to build in another location, which is exactly the location of our land. A value of R$ 500 million more or less, which is what we believe this construction potential will have, something very important to help in the construction of our stadium”, stated Rodolfo Landim.

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.


NEGOTIATION FROM JANUARY


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.

ALLAN DIDN'T PERFORM AS EXPECTED AT FLAMENGO


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.

REFORMULATION IN SIGHT

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.

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.”


PERIOD OF REFLECTION
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.”


EXPERIENCE AND PASSAGE THROUGH THE NATIONAL TEAM

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.


CARPINI JUSTIFIES CHOICES

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.

SITUATION IN THE TABLE

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.
