Flamengo proposed a plan to the city hall to use the construction potential of its headquarters in Gávea to build the club's own stadium. The idea was presented by the red-black president, Rodolfo Landim, to the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, in a meeting last Thursday. It was an initial step.
The evaluation within the Flamengo is that Gávea can generate between R$440 million and R$510 million in construction potential. This value would be negotiated to generate resources for the construction of the stadium on the Gasometer site, in the center of Rio. It is possible that the negotiation will be with the real estate fund itself, managed by Caixa Econômica Federal, owner of the land.
The board of directors of the club negotiates with Caixa to purchase the area. There are disagreements regarding the value, which ranges between R$200 million and R$500 million, obviously, the bank wants more money, and Flamengo pays less. Releasing the construction potential could help unlock the conversation between the parties.
The model proposed by Flamengo is similar to the project carried out by Vasco with São Januário. The Cruzmaltino club has already had support from the city hall and now depends on approval by the City Council. It intends to raise R$500 million by reselling the potential and using it to renovate its stadium. There is a red-black idea of having equality in relation to Cruzmaltino.
In the red-negro case, Eduardo Paes was in favor of the idea presented by Landim and promised to support it . "It's land (former Gasometer) owned by Caixa. Flamengo will have to buy that land. I was with president (Rodolfo) Landim this week. We are modeling a financial operation that takes into account some of Flamengo's assets so that the people can come up with a solution for Flamengo and the city", said Paes, in an interview with Rádio Tupi.
The assets, in this case, are the constructive potential of Gávea. Currently, the headquarters already has 35 thousand square meters of built area. There is a project to build an additional 45,000 m2 in Nova Gávea.
With the intended potential, Flamengo calculates that there are 170 thousand m2 left. The price in the area, according to the club's estimate, is 2,600 to 3 thousand per square meter. In other words, the club could raise an amount between R$440 million and R$510 million.
Paes' support is just a first step in the project. Flamengo will now have to formalize a proposal that will generate studies by technicians from Rio's city hall. If the project is considered viable, it would be approved by the city hall and would go to the City Council for a subsequent vote.
Vasco is already in this last stage, and is talking to councilors to approve its project. The Cruzmaltino club has already prospected potential buyers in another area of the city in Barra.
After three seasons defending the Mantle, the players end the cycle with a tribute from the fans and structural departures from the group

The changes in the group led by Bernardinho began a few days ago, with the announcement that the contract of American Brie was ending, and gained momentum with the confirmation of the departures of important athletes . Michelle, one of the names most identified with the project, leaves the club after three consecutive seasons , with a leadership role and a strong connection with the fans . At 38 years old, the outside hitter already has a certain destiny: she will defend Praia Clube in the 2025 season.
With a winning history, Michelle wore the Sacred Mantle between 2022 and 2025, a period in which she acted as captain and won two Campeonato Carioca titles. However, her history with Bernardinho's project is even longer: between 2004 and 2010, the player went through two other phases, being a two-time Superliga champion.
Chosen by Bernardinho to lead the group on and off the court, Michelle became a symbol of the union between youth and experience. In recognition, the fans organized a banner with the athlete's face, a gesture that moved the number 17 player: “Sesc RJ Flamengo thanks you for all your dedication and dedication to the team in the 24/25 season. Good luck in your new journeys. Thank you!”
Another player who is ending the cycle is setter Rose, who had been on the team for two seasons. Brie's reserve in the first half and taking on a leading role in decisive moments, the player has signed with Batavo Mackenzie. Opposite Edinara, who arrived for the 2024/25 season, will also join the Minas Gerais team. She says goodbye to Rubro-Negro after a year of contribution and will continue in the new project alongside Rose.
In an open letter published this Friday, Michelle gave a long thank you to the club, the fans and coach Bernardinho. In the text, the outside hitter recounted the personal impact of her time at Flamengo : “Today, 5/30, I end a cycle of 3 incredible years, which were, without a doubt, the best seasons of my career. I came in as a different person and I leave completely different.”
The director of Mais Querido is also in the sights of other teams in the Brasileirão, but has not yet received any proposal to leave Rubro-Negro

In an attempt to overhaul its football department, Santos is still looking for new directors to avoid relegation to Série B. As such, the São Paulo team is working behind the scenes to appoint a new football director, and one of the names mentioned is Bruno Spindel, current director of Flamengo.
According to information from journalist Ana Canhedo, in addition to Bruno Spindel, Santos also has Marcos Braz and Fabinho Soldado, former Flamengo directors, on the list. In addition, Alexandre Mattos, current football director at Cruzeiro, is also a target for the São Paulo team.
It is worth remembering that another club from the Brazilian Serie A recently showed interest in Bruno Spindel: Atlético-MG. However, negotiations did not progress at the beginning of the year, after the election of Luiz Eduardo Baptista, and the director continues to work at Mais Querido.
Spindel joined Flamengo in 2015 to be the club's marketing director and remained in the role until 2018. Soon after, he was promoted to become the team's CEO. Finally, Bruno became executive director in June 2019 and remains in the role to this day.
While Bruno Spindel continues to receive inquiries, Flamengo's squad focuses its attention on the next matches of the season. The Mais Querido returns to the field on Sunday (1), in a match against Fortaleza, at 6:30 pm, at Maraca. The match will be valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão and could be worth the leadership of the competition.
