NEW FLAMENGO TARGET! CEDRIC SOARES AWAKES THE INTEREST OF RUBRO-NEGRO - SEE BELOW

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.

Flamengo's top management is still in Europe for institutional matters. This Friday (07), the directors, who are in London, had a meeting with Edu Gaspar, director of Arsenal (ENG), met with representatives from Adidas and Brazilian politicians, with whom they discussed the stadium in Gasometer.

After watching the Champions League final between Real Madrid (ESP) and Borussia Dortmund (ALE) on the 1st of this month, Rodolfo Landim, Rodrigo Dunshee and Gustavo Oliveira had meetings in Londi The most important for the red-black club was with politicians from Brazil, who were also present at the decision. In the conversation, there was the Federal Deputy for Rio de Janeiro and enthusiast of the stadium on the Gasometer site, Dr. Luizinho (PP) was also present in the conversation.

Edu Gaspar has been director of Arsenal for five seasons. The meeting with the Brazilian top hat was considered productive for Flamengo. This is because the manager of the Premier League team detailed how the team's football work and organization chart works. Furthermore, the demands on subordinates and how the process is organized in the transfer window were discussed.

In addition to the meeting with Edu Gaspar and politicians in London, Landim, Dunshee and Gustavo had conversations with representatives from Adidas . On the occasion, the German company's contract renewal with the red-and-black team was celebrated. Therefore, the company's executives in Brazil and Latin America, Ricardo Sdei and Olivier Gianina (CEO), received Mais Querido's leadership.

While Flamengo's directors are in London dealing with other matters, the red and black cast is focused on the next commitments. This is because Mais Querido faces Grêmio on Thursday (13), at 8pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a game valid for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship.
