Last Monday (9), Bap launched his candidacy for the presidency of Flamengo and presented some important names from your plate. Among them, Rodrigo Tostes stands out, former deputy of Finance in the Bandeira and Landim administrations, who detailed the project for the construction of the new Mengão stadium and criticized the current administration's planning.
Tostes stated that Flamengo has the capacity to generate all the revenue necessary to finance the construction of the stadium. He believes that poorly executed processes, such as the relationship with fan partners, have delayed the club's growth. The objective is to increase revenue in a few years.
“The money for the stadium is within Flamengo , working efficiently, combining marketing, finance, making all products and projects, managing and managing. Today you buy a fan membership, you go to Maracanã, there is no queue for you. We are going to increase the club's profitability”, said Tostes.
The former manager projected that Flamengo will be able to achieve revenues of R$2 billion in three to five years, representing a growth of 53.8% compared to the R$1.3 billion raised last year, which was a record in Brazilian football. He emphasized that this goal can be achieved without compromising sporting performance or creating a Football Anonymous Society (SAF).
“This money is in there, it is with this money that we will increase profitability and the club will earn 2 billion in revenue in 3, 4, 5 years. Today Flamengo makes 1 billion and 300 and only generates 150 million in cash. Why? Because it increased revenue and increased expenses exponentially.”
“We will build on the premise of the past for Bap, without compromising sporting performance. And SAF no way, you don't need SAF to do this. We are already talking to the best professionals in the world, companies in the world, chatting, listening. The feeling I have, someone who recently left Flamengo, is that the stadium will be a great opportunity to start generating more cash, better results and we can be more efficient with our investment”, he commented.
Tostes criticizes Landim management
Tostes also criticized the current management de Landim, especially the idea of selling the naming rights to finance part of the stadium work. Although the estimate is that an agreement could yield around R$1 billion, Tostes believes that the value could be double in the future and that the competing parties in the elections "don't know how to do it".
“The The stadium's money is not in the stadium, in the naming rights, in the sale of boxes... This will all be worth double down the line, and they will sell it now. (…) So this money is within the club. You just can't tell them they don't know how to do it. The people here know how to do it and that's why there won't be SAF.”
In addition, he stated that Flamengo "stopped taking care of its investments correctly" and that maintaining revenue in the range of R$ 1.3 billion may not be enough to build the stadium, which could lead to the sale of the club.< /p>
“If you leave it there with 1 billion and 300, you will need SAF. Anyone who thinks that 1 billion and 300 is enough and is already reaching the ceiling is mistaken. We have the potential for much more than that and to be much more efficient with resource management within the club”, concluded Rodrigo Tostes.
The club raised R$518.4 million in sales, spent R$309 million on signings and expects historic revenue of over R$1.7 billion by the end of the year.

Flamengo closed the mid-2025 transfer window with intense market activity. The balance sheet released by the board shows that the club raised more than it invested , strengthening its cash flow and strengthening its squad.
R$518.4 million was received from the departure of seven players , including important names such as Gerson (R$160.6 million), Wesley (R$162.2 million) and Fabrício Bruno (R$44 million). At the same time, the club continued to sign strategic players, projecting to close the year with revenue exceeding R$1.7 billion.
The biggest sale of the window was Wesley, who netted the club R$162.2 million. Besides him, Charly Alcaraz (R$96 million) and Matheus Gonçalves (R$50 million) also left the team , totaling significant sums. Loans and other transfers rounded out the list of moves that helped bolster the club's coffers.
Despite significant departures, the board remained focused on strengthening the squad. In total, seven signings were made for 2025, three of which were free: Danilo, Jorginho, and Saúl Ñiguez.
The biggest investment was Samuel Lino, acquired for R$143 million in a historic deal for the club. Besides him, Emerson Royal (R$58 million), Jorge Carrascal (R$77 million), and Juninho (R$31 million) completed the list of paid reinforcements.
Even with the punishment of a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000, the club is not expected to go to the market in search of a striker, trusting in the current squad.

Despite the suspension imposed on striker Bruno Henrique , Flamengo will not make any moves in the market to find an immediate replacement. The board was already considering the possibility of losing the player and believes there are enough options within the squad to maintain the team's performance.
According to a report by Gazeta do Urubu , coach Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his best physical form and can assume a greater offensive role. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are seen as viable alternatives to fill the position , while Juninho is expected to be reinstated in the squad for the next rounds of the Brasileirão.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not, for now, affect the Libertadores.
However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA. If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches , increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.
The process began after suspicions of manipulation related to a yellow card received by Bruno Henrique in the match against Santos, held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023.
According to the investigation, the player allegedly provided advance notice of the warning, which benefited his brother, Wander, who then passed the information on to third parties involved in sports betting. The investigation led to a disciplinary decision by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD), which may now have repercussions in international courts.
After four days of rest, the red-black squad returns to training at Ninho do Urubu under the command of Filipe Luís and begins preparations for the away match.

After four days off , the Flamengo squad returned to activities this Friday (5), at Ninho do Urubu, under the command of Filipe Luís. The team is preparing for the next commitment in the Brazilian Championship , scheduled for September 14, against Juventude, in Caxias do Sul.
The group returned at 3:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Training Center in Vargem Grande . On Saturday (6), the work will be carried out in the morning, at 9:30 am, with the same schedule repeated on Sunday (7).
Filipe Luís will be tasked with adjusting the team for the match against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. Despite the technical differences between the teams and their good form in the tournament, Flamengo doesn't have a favorable record when facing the Gauchos away from home.
Their last away win came in 1997, when they won 1-0 in the Brasileirão . Since then, Mengão has lost seven and drawn six in Rio Grande do Sul. The match at Juventude's home ground has always been a difficult one.
Currently, the red-and-black team leads the national competition, with 47 points from 21 matches, with 14 wins , five draws, and only two losses. Juventude, on the other hand, is facing a difficult time, occupying 18th place with 21 points, achieved through six wins, three draws, and 12 losses.
