The opposition group Frente Flamengo Maior, which came third in Flamengo's last presidential election with Walter Monteiro, launched this Friday (24) a ten-point manifesto defending unity around a platform whose main point is resistance to Flamengo's possible transformation into SAF (Sociedade Anônima de Futebol) after the December elections.
“The election at Flamengo cannot be an exclusive dispute between representatives of the current board. In search of unity among those who resist the growing elitization of Flamengo and the threats of transformation into SAF, the Frente Flamengo Maior launches the 10 Points Manifesto, calling on all Flamengo associates and fans to unite around a project that preserves the Rubro-Negra Nation as a popular club without owners. #SAFJAMAIS“, the group posted on its profile.
To date, no opposition candidate has launched itself to succeed Rodolfo Landim. Vice-president Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches has already publicly declared his intention to run as the current candidate, but is competing for internal preference with the president of the Board of Directors, Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap). Former vice-president of Embassies Maurício Gomes de Mattos also left his position to enter the dispute.
Landim defends the creation of a SAF as an alternative to finance the construction of Flamengo's own stadium, although has committed to not presenting any proposal in this regard until the end of its mandate.
Manifesto defends its own stadium without SAF in Flamengo
The Frente manifesto Flamengo Maior has among its points the “guarantee of maintaining Flamengo as an associative club”.
“Guaranteeing the associative nature of Flamengo, so that the decision-making power is always in the hands of its members, rejecting initiatives of sell football to investors”, says the topic.
The group defends the construction of its own football stadium “through the creation of a Specific Purpose Company (or other corporate model that is suitable” with investors and partners”, but without the creation of a SAF in Flamengo.
In addition to resistance to the SAF, the other points defended by the Frente Flamengo Maior include the expansion of Flamengo's membership, the implementation of remote voting at the club and the professionalization of the Football Department, with the end of amateur themed vice-presidencies.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
NO SPACE IN THE CAST
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
PASSING TURKEY
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.

On Tuesday (1), Zenit agreed to sign Gerson after depositing the amount of the midfielder's termination fee into Flamengo's bank account. Thus, with the amount, Mais Querido reached the budget target set for the season.
At the beginning of the season, Flamengo's idea was to raise around 35 million euros (R$225 million) from the sale of athletes in 2025. In this way, Rubro-Negro surpassed the mark, as it raised 47 million euros (R$302 million).
ALCARAZ AND FABRÍCIO BRUNO HELP TO COMPLEMENT THE GOAL
It is worth remembering that before the sale of Gerson , Flamengo had already agreed the sales of Fabrício Bruno, to Cruzeiro for 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) and Carlos Alcaraz, to Everton (ING), for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million).
BILLING MAY INCREASE
Despite having already surpassed the target set at the beginning of the year, Flamengo can still raise more money. This is because more players like Wesley are expected to leave during this transfer window. The full-back has already received inquiries from several European football clubs and could be sold for up to 35 million euros (R$225 million).
FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE
Without Gerson, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the team for the rest of the season. Now, Rubro-Negro will focus its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. In the Brazilian Championship, Mais Querido is the leader, with 24 points, in addition to being qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stages.
