Gradually, Flamengo is once again excited about building the Gasologista stadium, in the central region of Rio de Janeiro. According to the newspaper O Globo, the former value of the land, which was around R$200 million, has depreciated. The biggest reason for the fall in the price of the place is the abandonment of the region. In other words, it has already become a headache for the Federal Government .
This was the main topic at the meeting held last Saturday (09) between Flamengo and Caixa. In the conversation, the bank did not give Fla an exact value to sell the land, however, Rodolfo Landim made it clear that the amount is no longer around R$200 million. According to UOL, negotiations were taking place slowly because the legal status of the land is very complex.
In a recent live broadcast on the Mundo na Bola channel, architect Fabrício Chicca, who frequently investigates this topic, spoke again about how Flamengo is trying attract investors to acquire the land and pay for the arena's works. “Landim says he is going to create a SAF for Flamengo and will hand over 20% of that SAF to a partner. This 20% will not give the guy (company) the right to do anything, make any decisions at the club. It's only 20%. But they will receive 20% of Flamengo's profits forever. To get this 20%, this company will put a truckload of money into Flamengo and this money will go to the stadium”, he explained.
In the political sphere, the City of Rio de Janeiro likes Flamengo's idea of build an arena in the region. This is because the construction of the Gentiliza Terminal to revitalize the area was completed in February. In this way, the City Hall sees Fla as a great asset to 'finish the job' and make the region completely modern: something unthinkable a while ago.
Flamengo and Caixa Econômica left pre-scheduled meetings for the coming months, but no date and location have been defined yet. In the next meetings, the tendency is for Rubro-Negro to also present a financial offer for the purchase of the land. It is worth mentioning that even with this movement, Fla is not giving up on the Maracanã bid.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (20) to face Internacional, at Beira-Rio, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. In addition to the Brazilian duel, the round also features the clash between Estudiantes (ARG) and Cerro Porteño (PAR) , at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium. The winners of the two series will face each other in the quarterfinals.
Estudiantes opens the doubleheader by hosting Cerro Porteño at 7 p.m. The Argentine team won the first leg 1-0 and therefore has the advantage of a draw to advance. Having the right to play at home, the Argentine club is the clear favorite in this match.
Next up, at 9:30 p.m., Internacional vs. Flamengo will play. Filipe Luís's team has the advantage after winning the first leg, also 1-0 , at Maracanã, with a goal from Bruno Henrique. Thus, Internacional can also draw to secure a place in the quarterfinals of the competition.
The only confirmed absence is Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot. Emerson Royal is doubtful : the full-back missed the last Brasileirão match after suffering an ankle sprain, but traveled with the team.
The match between Flamengo and Internacional will be broadcast on Globo (free-to-air TV), ESPN (pay TV), and Disney+ (streaming) . Mengão only needs a draw to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties.

One of Flamengo's biggest moves in 2025 was the signing of Jorginho, formerly of Arsenal (ENG). The number 21 quickly adapted to Filipe Luís's system and has already established himself as a starter in the Flamengo midfield. In an interview with ESPN, coach Mikel Arteta, who managed the Italian-Brazilian in England, recalled conversations with the player before his transfer to the Rio de Janeiro club .
Arteta talks about Jorginho at Flamengo: "He had a very clear desire to end his career in Brazil"
"We had several conversations to understand how far we wanted to go together, or not. He was very clear about his desire to finish his career in Brazil; he was waiting for an opportunity. When it came, I saw him very convinced, at every level ," Arteta said, before adding:
"First on a personal level, with his family, and then on a professional level, returning to compete in the country of his birth. It was an honor for me to have him here. I made the most of my day-to-day life with him, not only as a player , but also as a person and a leader . I wish him all the best," concluded the coach.
Flamengo officially announced Jorginho's arrival in June 2025, with the Club World Cup in mind. The club didn't have to pay Arsenal, as the player had already terminated his contract with the English club . Since then, the midfielder has played 13 games, scored one goal, and provided two assists.
With Jorginho available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (20) to face Internacional, at Beira-Rio, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores . Mengão only needs a draw to qualify for the quarterfinals.

Flamengo continues its search for another Copa Libertadores title and will decide its place in the quarterfinals this Wednesday (20), against Internacional, at Beira-Rio. The second leg of the round of 16 will be broadcast on open TV .
On Rede Globo, the match will be narrated by Everaldo Marques and commentated by Maestro Júnior and Caio Ribeiro , who both played for Flamengo during their professional careers. It's worth noting that the network also broadcast the first match.
In addition to Globo, ESPN will broadcast the match on cable TV, while Disney+ will stream the game, just like it did at Maracanã. For the Disney group, Rogério Vaughan will be narrating the match, with commentary from Paulo Calçade and Zinho , formerly of Flamengo .
Coach Filipe Luís will have only one confirmed absence: Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot. The doubt is Emerson Royal, who traveled with the delegation to Porto Alegre . The full-back did not play in the match between Flamengo and Internacional for the Brasileirão, last Sunday (17), but could be included if he is cleared by the medical department after treating a sprained ankle.
In the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo won 1-0 with a goal from Bruno Henrique, and now needs a draw at Beira-Rio to advance to the quarterfinals of the continental competition. If Internacional wins by one goal, the match will be decided by a penalty shootout .
