On the morning of this Wednesday (8), the envelopes were opened with the financial proposals for the administration of Maracanã over the next 20 years. The victory of the Consortium formed by Flamengo and Fluminense became a matter of simply completing formalities following the outcome of the appeal on the technical proposal for the concession of Maracanã, these formalities do not end with the opening of the envelopes.
Now, the Special Bidding Committee will analyze whether the Fla-Flu Consortium has included all the necessary documentation to accompany the financial proposal, which includes a business plan for managing the stadium. After the analysis is completed, the financial note of the duo and the Maracanã Para Todos Consortium, which will go through the same process, will be published in the Official Gazette.
From there, the two consortiums will be able to appeal within five days of the result to the Bidding Committee. Then they will have another five working days to present the response to the rival's appeal. Only then will the Bidding Committee give the final and average financial score and proclaim the winner of the bid.
Once declared the winner, the Fla-Flu Consortium will have up to 60 days to establish the Fla-Flu Company and actually sign the concession. This company will have controlling interest in Flamengo, with 65% of the stake, compared to 35% for Fluminense. The company will have to deposit a guarantee of 2% of the grant value – the minimum is R$186 million, but the calculation will be made based on the value proposed by the Fla-Flu Consortium.
Internally, the Flamengo will have this period to approve the signing of the contract in the Deliberative Council. Defeat is unlikely, but the notice provides that, if a consortium wins and does not take over, it will have to pay a fine of 10% of the minimum grant amount. In this case, the second placed team (Consórcio Maracanã Para Todos, by Vasco and W/Torre) would be called upon to take over Maracanã.
The Vasco consortium has also made it clear that it will not accept defeat and will try to continue questioning the notice in court, which could delay the signing of the commitment. Until it happens, the Provisional Term of Use by which Flamengo and Fluminense have already managed Maracanã since 2019 will continue to be valid.
Once the concession is signed, the 20-year term begins to be valid. The schedule of interventions in the state to which Flamengo, as leader of the consortium, committed itself in the technical part, is also beginning to be implemented, which foresees expenditure of R$59 million in the first year, R$182 million in the first three years and R$393 million over the 20 years of the Maracanã concession.
The decision was made after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who exposed the striker's actions in a press conference this Saturday (12), after the victory over São Paulo

After Flamengo's victory over São Paulo this Saturday (12), coach Filipe Luís spoke out about Pedro's actions in the club's daily life. The Mais Querido coach highlighted that the number 9 had unacceptable behavior. Therefore, the athlete's representatives will seek proposals for the player to leave Rubro-Negro.
" We're going to make an offer to Flamengo and try to find a way out ," a representative for Pedro told journalist Venê Casagrande. The response came after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who explained the reason for the player's departure.
Pedro was not included by Filipe Luís for the match against São Paulo this Saturday (12). Thus, the coach explained, in a press conference, that the player had unacceptable behavior. In addition, the coach stated that the number 9 should apologize and that he has been training below expectations.
"Pedro's behavior and attitude during the week was deplorable, bordering on ridiculous. Pedro has his personal issues with the club's board, but he's been training poorly for a while now. This week, however, he broke a clear principle we have as a coaching staff and players: training culture ," the coach emphasized before adding:
"For me, what he did was disrespectful, his behavior in training. I didn't hesitate for a moment to leave him out of this game, as this behavior can be contagious. I hope he recovers, apologizes to his teammates and goes back to being Pedro. It's not just a lack of respect for his teammates, it's also for himself, " said Filipe Luís .
Pedro returned from a serious injury a few months ago. Since then, the center forward has appeared in 17 matches for Flamengo. He has scored five goals and provided three assists for his teammates.
The Mais Querido full-back is being targeted by Roma and other European giants, but has not yet received any official offer.

Roma is watching Wesley, who is still being watched by other clubs and may be leaving Flamengo. The number 43 confirmed during halftime of the match against São Paulo that there is a chance he will leave the club soon.
Wesley talks about a possible departure from Flamengo: "This is a matter for Flamengo's board and my agents ."
Wesley's contract with Flamengo runs until December 2028. Flamengo is demanding €30 million (R$195 million) to sell the young full-back. The player has also made clear his desire to play for a European club.
Therefore, Wesley is one of Roma's (ITA) priorities. This is because the Italian team hired coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was at Atalanta (ITA). The coach had even considered signing the full-back while he was still at the previous team, but negotiations failed.
Thus, while Wesley does not receive an official offer, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
The Mais Querido pointed out the problems that the full-backs had; it is worth remembering that the Rubro-Negro's number 6 suffered a strong tackle from Enzo Diaz

This Saturday (12), Flamengo beat São Paulo by 2-0, in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. However, throughout the match, Mais Querido suffered two important losses: Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas. Thus, Rubro-Negro updated the situation of the athletes.
It is worth remembering that after a clash with Enzo Diaz, a deep cut was found on Ayrton Lucas ' leg. After the game, Flamengo issued a statement revealing "bone exposure" in the player's wound. In addition, the club took the opportunity to talk about the situation of Alex Sandro, who will undergo tests this Sunday (13).
Left-back Ayrton Lucas suffered direct trauma to his left leg during the second half of the 2-0 victory over São Paulo, resulting in a blunt force trauma of approximately 8 cm. The player received local anesthesia in the locker room, where Flamengo doctor, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, cleaned and initially examined the wound. After confirming the bone exposure, a dressing was applied and the player was then sent for an x-ray, which ruled out a fracture in the region. Ayrton was taken to Barra D'Or Hospital, where he will undergo surgery. The player will remain hospitalized for at least 48 hours for antibiotics and infection prevention .
"The player felt pain in the posterior muscle of his left thigh in the first half of Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo. He will undergo an MRI scan on Sunday (13) ," Flamengo said in a statement issued to the press.
Thus, with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas being doubtful, it is likely that Filipe Luís will once again field Varela at left-back for Flamengo . Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
