Presidents of the two main clubs in Brazil in recent years, Rodolfo Landim and Leila Pereira accumulate episodes of both partnership and friction. A great example of both scenarios is the negotiation of Libra, of which Flamengo and Palmeiras are part, to sell the Brasileirão broadcasting rights. In an interview, the representative commented on the business and relationship with the president of Mengão.
Leila and Landim clashed due to opposing thoughts in most of the group's conversations, which began in 2022. She treats disagreements not only as natural, but fundamental for everyone to be satisfied with the agreement that provides for the distribution of R$ 1.425 billion to the group's nine teams in Series A.
“Very good (relationship with Landim). For people to evolve, there needs to be friction, because it is impossible to think in the same way as Flamengo, who São Paulo, than Corinthians, but everyone with common sense and fighting for the best for football, for the show. There are frictions, but we resolve them between us. We had a lunch to celebrate ours. broadcast agreement, and I think everyone was very happy”, said Leila Pereira, in an interview with “ge”.
In the end, the president of Palmeiras even managed to “win” the arm wrestle with the red-black representative. This is because Flamengo agreed to no longer have a minimum value guaranteed by TV rights and the projection is that alviverde will reduce the difference in the amount received compared to recent years. worth highlighting.
Libra meetings make Leila Pereira believe in a league formed by clubs to manage national football. The club meeting, in fact, began with this purpose. But the teams split into blocks after many disagreements between managers. The attempt was unsuccessful, but the small progress gives hope for a better result in the future.
“I, as president of Palmeiras, sit down with any club president. In this agreement that we made for broadcasting rights, the Libra group sat down, and Palmeiras gave up revenue, Flamengo gave up. So, there was talk, yes, on our side, on Libra's side. And I thought it was very productive, that this is the way. Everyone was unarmed, it was a very productive environment. I have hope, yes, but not in the short term. To set up a league I need all the clubs, not a part here, another part there, it's unfeasible. But we work day by day, we evolve”, he concluded

Discussions about implementing financial fair play in Brazilian football continue to rage behind the scenes. This time, Flamengo's football director, José Boto, once again urged the CBF to implement the system in the country .
Flamengo's José Boto quips: "Financial fair play is something we should all do at home"
" People talk a lot about financial fair play, but they often don't know what it is . Financial fair play is something we should all practice at home: not spending more than we have. The problem is that some clubs engage in unfair competition, spending money they don't have, and leaving debts outstanding, including with players signed almost two years ago," he said in an interview with UOL.
Boto also highlighted that FIFA adopts strict penalties in cases involving European clubs, and argued that the same approach should be applied in Brazil: "When it involves European clubs, like Leixões or Estrela Amadora, FIFA takes action and they can't register anyone until they pay . This needs to be done here as well, otherwise it's unfair competition," he added.
In addition to the fair play debate, Flamengo is also actively involved in the CBF's National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) . The club is suing Internacional for non-payment of Thiago Maia's purchase, which was made in 2024. The agreement was for €4 million (approximately R$25 million), divided into ten installments. However, almost two years later, with the midfielder already established in Porto Alegre, Flamengo has still not received the amounts owed.
Financial fair play is a set of rules aimed at balancing clubs' finances, preventing them from spending more than they earn and avoiding excessive debt. Flamengo , which has been investing responsibly for years, is one of the supporters of this measure . On the other hand, clubs like Corinthians, Atlético-MG, and Botafogo could face difficulties in adapting to the system.
