In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.
Paes stated that the values for the transfer of the structure are different from what was pointed out in the article by Ancelmo Gois. Furthermore, it exempted Flamengo from any responsibility, and that the city hall has been planning to remove it for years.
“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings.

Leaked photo of Gabigol wearing the Corinthians shirt surprised and disappointed Flamengo fans on Thursday night (16), but the case is not unprecedented at the club. In 2015, image from striker Paulinho wearing the São Paulo team's uniform caused outrage, led to punishment and the athlete left the team eight days after the incident.
Remember the case
Highlight of the 2013 Copa do Brasil title, Paulinho ended 2015 down and on the bench. Outside the plans of coach Muricy Ramalho, who signed an agreement to take over the team in the following season, the player himself admitted talks to defend Corinthians shortly after going on vacation. However, a photo that was leaked on the networks days later caused a very bad reaction among the fans and the red-black board.
The striker posed smiling wearing the São Paulo team's shirt and allegedly sent the photo to a friend, who published it on the social networks. However, the story was not enough to escape punishment for disrespecting Fla's image. Executive director at the time, Rodrigo Caetano confirmed that he punished the athlete.
“In the club's understanding, as stated in the contract, it has to preserve the club's image and sponsors. It was a personal social network, and what Flamengo had to do, it already did”, he said, before stating that he had received “absolutely nothing” from Corinthians.
The photo went viral on social media that day. December 18, 2015, and Paulinho left the club on December 26th. He ended up not going to Corinthians, who even denied interest, and accepted an offer to play for Santos from 2016 onwards, where he would be Gabigol's teammate. Flamengo received R$300,000 on loan.
It is worth noting that the striker was already out of the plans and would probably leave the club anyway. But the ease and speed with which Flamengo released the player caught attention.
Gabigol with the Corinthians shirtGabigol's image logically had a much greater impact on the fans Flamengo than Paulinho. After all, the striker is the name of the generation and the attitude was considered an act of disrespect not only towards the club, but also towards the fans who idolize him. The player's advisor claims that the photo is fake.
Meeting between president Rodolfo Landim, Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel will take place this Friday (17) to define the attacker's punishment. He must be heard as he claims to be a fake image. Information from the “ge” portal, on the other hand, states that club employees who appear in the photo confirmed its veracity.
Remember that Gabriel was linked to negotiations with Corinthians by the team president, but his agent denied it. Confirmation of the case will make an already unlikely renewal even further away. However, if he was supported by the fans even in a bad phase and after suspension for attempted doping fraud, he is on his way to leaving Flamengo through the back door.
