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 a strong performance in the transfer market, Mengão director admits to trying to get a star player from the yellow jersey and hopes to get another opportunity.

Flamengo remains active behind the scenes to assemble a competitive squad for the start of the next Brazilian volleyball season. With new investments in the project, the club is targeting a key reinforcement: opposite Rosamaria, a standout player for the Brazilian national team and one of the country's top players.
Flamengo director after fan asks Rosamaria to join the club: "Our wish too"
In response to a fan on social media who called for the athlete's signing, Flamengo 's director of Olympic sports, Marcus Vinícius Freire, admitted the red-and-black's desire: "Our wish too. This year we tried, but we couldn't make it happen . Who knows next year?" he declared.
Rosamaria is considered one of Brazil's top volleyball players today . A key player for the national team, she was a key player in the 2022 World Cup runner-up finish and won a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She has also finished runner-up in the Nations League three times.
Currently, the opposite hitter plays for Denso Airybees in Japan, where she recently renewed her contract. An idol of the Asian team, she will play her sixth season with the club , but Mengão continues to monitor the developments in the Brazilian national team's career.
While dreaming about Rosamaria, Flamengo has already secured important reinforcements for the season . So far, the club has announced the arrival of five players: Tainara (opposite player for the Brazilian national team), Giovana, Vivian, Masa Kiryu, and American Simone Lee.
After failing to reach an agreement for a contract renewal, a historic Mengão player takes to social media and declares his love for the fans.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
