A Caixa Econômica Federal efiled a request to court to cancel the auction of the Gasologista land, as reported by the portal 'Mundo Rubro-Negro'. The bank claimed that there was a misuse of purpose in the expropriation of the land, with the aim of benefiting Flamengo. In addition to this accusation, Caixa highlighted that the presence of politicians celebrating and wearing Flamengo's shirt during the event was also a reason for discomfort and protest.
The Gasmetro site has been an area of strategic interest for several parties, including Flamengo. The club seeks to use the space to develop infrastructure that would directly benefit the team and its fans. The expropriation and auction of the land, however, raised legal and ethical questions, especially in relation to the way the process was conducted.
FLAMENGO KEEP AN EYE OPEN
Caixa Econômica Federal , as one of the interested parties in the process, contested the auction arguing that the expropriation did not follow adequate procedures and was directed to favor the Flamengo. The presence of politicians wearing the club's shirt during the celebrations was seen as a sign of possible collusion and political use of the event, which aggravated the situation and led to legal action.
The dispute over the Gasometer land involves diverse and complex interests. On the one hand, Flamengo and its supporters see the expropriation and auction as an opportunity to expand and improve the club's facilities. On the other side, Caixa and other parties argue that the process has been compromised and requires a judicial review to ensure transparency and justice.
The player was in Mengão's sights during the transfer window, but ended up being discarded, and his poor performance for the 'Millonarios' attracted attention.

Facundo Colidio's name has been circulating among Flamengo fans again this week. The Argentine striker, who was once on Flamengo's radar for a 2024 deal, took the field in the Libertadores clash between River Plate and Palmeiras, but had a low-key performance and became the target of ridicule from Brazilian fans .
At the time, Flamengo opened talks to sign the 25-year-old center forward, but were stymied by River Plate's high asking price and the player's own desire to remain in Buenos Aires. The Argentine club agreed to renew his contract until 2031, responding to a request from coach Marcelo Gallardo, who considered Colidio an important player in the squad.
By 2024, the striker had scored seven goals in 25 matches. Without an agreement, Flamengo reorganized its attacking plans, while Colidio remained at Monumental de Núñez . This season, he has scored nine times in 30 appearances.
After the match against Palmeiras, many Flamengo fans took to social media to mock the player. One wrote: "And this Colidio guy? He's incredibly stubborn about not wanting to negotiate with Flamengo ... At most, he's fighting for a spot on the bench with Cebolinha."
Another was even more acidic: " This Colidio has every appearance of a Santos player from the last decade ." A third summed it up: "This Colidio is horrible." The general tone was one of relief that the deal hadn't gone through in the past.
The interest in Colidio arose at a time of internal instability at Flamengo. Pedro had lost ground to Filipe Luís, and some of the board considered negotiating him for around €15 million . In this context, Colidio emerged as an option to fill the center-forward role, a debate that sparked disagreements between CEO José Boto and president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP).

Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes (ARG), in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In great form under the command of Filipe Luís, Rubro-Negro is counting on the good moment to open up an advantage in the confrontation .
Their Argentine opponents arrive under pressure after a losing streak. In their last five matches, they have lost three, drawn one, and won only one, representing a 26.7% success rate . In their most recent match, Estudiantes lost 2-1 to River Plate in the Argentine Championship.
Estudiantes' last games in 2025:
While Estudiantes is struggling, Flamengo is in excellent form. The team is unbeaten in nine games, with seven wins and two draws . In the Libertadores itself, they qualified convincingly, with two victories over Internacional in the round of 16.
For this Thursday's match, the only confirmed absence is Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Jorginho and Alex Sandro are still doubtful: both have recovered from muscle pain but are not fully fit. The decision will be made by Filipe Luís.
The duel between Flamengo and Estudiantes will not be shown on free-to-air TV and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming), but fans will be kept up to date with all the details of the match on Gazeta do Urubu.
The former Mengão striker is attracting interest from the São Paulo team, but contractual issues and high salary figures could make negotiations for 2026 difficult.

Gabigol's name has been linked to Corinthians again . The striker, who has previously been involved in controversy at Flamengo due to images in the black and white jersey, now appears as a possible reinforcement for the São Paulo club in 2026.
At Cruzeiro, Gabigol is facing a turbulent time . With Kaio Jorge in excellent form and a starter in the Raposa attack, the striker has lost his place in Leonardo Jardim's team, which has generated dissatisfaction on the player's part.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians is interested in signing Gabigol, but to make the deal happen, they would need to release Memphis Depay . The Dutch striker earns around R$6 million per month, while Gabigol's salary is over R$2 million.
Another critical point is Gabigol's contract with Cruzeiro, valid until 2028. For the player to be able to transfer, Corinthians would need to negotiate financial compensation with Raposa, in addition to adjusting its payroll.
Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals, and provided four assists.
