FLAMENGO WAS SOUNDED BY PUMA AND OBSERVES DEAL BETWEEN ADIDAS AND PALMEIRAS

The clubs' rivalry is also clear in the sporting material

The rivalry between Flamengo and Palmeiras that marked the last few years is now starting to have repercussions off the field, including in the negotiations between the two teams to define their suppliers of sporting goods. The Rio team has advanced negotiations to renew with Adidas, as already announced by the UOL portal.

The conditions of the new contract are well advanced. And the tendency has not changed for Rubro-negro to remain with its current partner. However, the club observes the conversations between Palmeiras and Adidas. He went looking for information about values. The idea of the red and black board is to be sure that it will maintain a much higher level of remuneration in relation to its rivals.

Flamengo already has a contract guarantee that it receives the highest amount in Brazil from the company, but the club understands that the margin has to be proportional to what it delivers. The current contract varies between R$ 60 million and R$ 70 million.

It is worth remembering that precisely these advantages were responsible for Alviverde eroding its relationship with Adidas during Paulo Nobre's management and ending with leaving in 2019, under the command of Maurício Galiotte. And, obviously, this influences the negotiations between Palmeiras and Adidas now too.

In addition, Flamengo received a Puma survey in this midway. The company currently sponsors Palmeiras and intends to continue, but as it may lose competition from Leila Pereira, it is already studying the possibility of sponsoring other teams in the country.

There was a meeting between Puma executives and Flamengo to talk. But no values were mentioned and the red-black club did not open negotiations. It was understood as a probe. The movement is part of this dance between Flamengo and Palmeiras with the two giants of sports equipment, all sides seeking the best possible conditions for their contracts.

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.

A SURPRISING VISIT

Although unusual, Embiid's presence in the Lakes Region has a reason. Married to Brazilian model Anne de Paula, the athlete often visits the city, where his father-in-law lives, during the holidays. This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.

ENTHUSIASM IN THE STORE

The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.

GENEROUS SHOPPING

Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAMENGO

Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.

MEETING WITH PLAYERS

In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
