The consortium formed by Flamengo and Fluminense is in the process of becoming official as manager of Maracanã for the next 20 years. This Wednesday, it was revealed that the duo made the most valuable financial offer (they had already received the highest score in the previous stage, technical evaluation). As a result, the fans wonder if this victory represents an end to the dream of their own stadium on the Gasometer ground, in the center of Rio.
According to vice general Rodrigo Dunshee, an advance does not interfere in the other. After opening the envelopes, at the Guanabara Palace, the leader tried to avoid the issue. But he stressed that they are "different business units". "Look, this matter is with the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim. I'm here representing Flamengo on the Maracanã issue. Now, there are two different business units. They are two isolated issues. Maracanã is a big business in itself But I'm not here to talk about Gasometer. I'm here today to talk about Maracanã", said Dunshee.
This Tuesday, the Rio State Government's Civil House Secretariat opened the financial proposals for the two candidacies. remainders (the other is from Vasco/WTorre). Fla-Flu's was slightly higher: R$20,060,874.12 versus R$20,000,777.28. As the duo had also obtained a higher score in the previous phase, winning the bid is just a matter of completing the bureaucracy for publication in the Official Gazette. The expectation is that this will happen by the end of the month.
"The consortium will be able to do several things at Maracanã that it would not be able to do nowadays. It would not be possible to invest so much in the business because you could lose it six months later. Now we will have 20 years to work. It's completely different. It will change that now you have time to make bigger projects, bigger investments, call on more partners, offer more products to consumers", added Dunshee.
The project for its own stadium in the center of Rio has always run parallel to participation in the Maracanã bid. Flamengo is negotiating the acquisition of the land with Caixa Econômica Federal, manager of the fund that owns the space. The matter is dealt with directly by President Rodolfo Landim. Caixa values the land at R$250 million. Initially, Flamengo was willing to pay around a third of that amount. But, after conversations with the club, the bank understood that the red and blacks are willing to increase the value. But no proposal has been made yet.
In addition, Mayor Eduardo Paes' promise to send the Chamber a bill to transfer the construction potential of Flamengo's headquarters changed the mood of the state-owned company. The term refers to the amount of construction allowed in a space. Even with projects for the Gávea land, the club will not reach the maximum allowed. If approved by the municipal authorities, this surplus can also be used as currency.

We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.

In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan .

Verón retired in 2014, but returned to the field three years later as a player-president . His last official match came in 2017, against Botafogo, also in the Copa Libertadores, during the group stage.
