"I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE" CLAUDINHO BUSINESSMAN REVEALS NEGOTIATION OUTCOME WITH FLAMENGO

Flamengo's dream of starting the construction of its own stadium is getting closer to coming true. After the City of Rio de Janeiro announced the expropriation of the Gasologista land, the red and black people are already dreaming about what Fla's home will be like. This Thursday (27), the president of Mengo, Rodolfo Landim, gave a preview, announced the capacity of the arena and revealed inspiration in Signal Iduna Park, from Borussia Dortmund (ALE). Furthermore, the president confirmed the return of the geral, a popular sector that marked Maracanã until the beginning of the 2000s.

"Daria um stadium for 80 thousand people based on the studies we have done so far. We have to evaluate architectural aspects, legality. A promise we made to the fans is that on both sides there will be an area where the fans will watch the game standing up. A promise that we will keep. bigger than the other " said Rodolfo Landim, in an interview with narrator João Guilherme.

The Borussia Dortmund fans are known, after all, like 'Yellow Wall'. During the interview, Landim said that he hopes to repeat this with the Flamengo fans, in the sectors behind the goals, with the fans standing. The director also said that tickets will be cheaper in both areas.

When asked whether Flamengo will suffer losses due to the lower values ​​behind goals, Landim assured that it would not. Therefore, the president gave an example of what is currently practiced at Maracanã, with the obligation to be free, due to state law.

Thus, considered the most popular sector in the history of Brazilian football, the Maracanã overall marked an era. In it, fans were free to run along a long stretch of the stand and ‘played together’ with the players during the 90 minutes. However, unlike Landim's plans for the new stadium, the area at the Holy Temple gave access to the entire field. At Mengão's home, it will only be about goals.

The midfielder Marcos Antônio is the club's big dream Flamengo for the mid-year transfer window. The athlete plays for Lazio, in Italy, and GE brought to light a detail that could define the negotiation. This is because Mengão is trying to sign him on loan, but there is a condition in the purchase obligation.

Lazio wants Flamengo to be obliged to buy the player under a specific condition. If Marcos Antônio reaches the goal of playing 50% of the team's games during the loan period, Mais Querido will have to acquire the midfielder permanently.

If the transfer takes place for a period of one year, it would mean that out of around 80 games, Marcos Antônio would be bought by the club, playing 40 matches. This fixed value would be around 5 to 6 million euros (R$ 35.5 million).

Flamengo is still working on the counter-proposal to try to improve the terms of the agreement, but it seems to be a matter of time before the outcome comes out. Marcos Antônio has already decided that he wants to come to Mengão, and the desire is mutual. The Italians also view the deal favorably.

The negotiations are not recent, and Flamengo is negotiating with Lazio to count on Marcos Antônio. Mengão's first offer was for a loan, but without offering any value, which was rejected outright by Lazio.

In the second offer, Flamengo included the purchase option at 4.5 million euros ( R$ 26 million). But the tendency is for Lazio to raise the value in response and the conversations will continue. However, Mengo is getting closer and closer to counting on the athlete.

One of the names that Flamengo is monitoring for the next transfer window is midfielder Claudinho, who is at Zenit. He had already been targeted by the CRF for a long time. He is an old dream of the Rubro-Negro Carioca board, just like Oscar. The two are names that have constantly been speculated on in the team in recent transfer windows.

Recently, it was reported that Claudinho had been offered to Mengão and that the Russian team would be willing to release the player. However, an update complicates the situation. Speculation echoed on the networks suggests that the athlete would be in the sights of the Arab World and this could distance him from Gávea for the 2024 sequence.

According to information published by communicator Diego Firmino, the speculation At the moment, a Saudi Arabian club would have made a good offer for the Brazilian. “There is buzz that he has a great proposal from Saudi”, the colleague published on his social media profile highlighting the new interest in the player.

He stood out in a great spell playing for Red Bull Bragantino. He would return to Brazilian football with the status of a major signing and would be an absolute starter in most Brazilian teams.

In the last European season, wearing the shirt of Zenit, from Russia, the number 11 made 43 appearances in total. He had 14 goal appearances, finding the net five times and providing nine assists.

In addition to Fla, he has also had his name speculated at Palmeiras. Let's wait for the transfer window to find out where the midfielder will play from the second half of 2024.
