This past Monday (29) Leixões, from Portugal's second division, held a session to clarify doubts for members and fans. The main topic was the possible purchase of Flamengo, which is interested in transforming the Portuguese club into a Sports Anonymous Society (SAD). Thus, there was acceptance from most of those present, but with conditions and the first was: that the club's identity would not be changed.
First of all, Flamengo does not intend to change the Leixões shield. However, the Portuguese team must adhere to red and black colors in the main uniform. Mais Querido intends to have around 56% of the European team, part of which belongs to the company Playfair, which is experiencing financial problems. Thus, Rubro-Negro will be able to decide on the teams: main, team B (young people up to 21 years old) and also the under-23s.
The youth categories, women's football and nine other sports remain under the responsibility of Leixões. Even with advanced negotiations, as the president of Mais Querido assured in a recent interview, the process still needs to be voted on by Flamengo's Deliberative Council.
REASON FOR INVESTMENT
O Mais Querido wants to have a Portuguese club to increase revenue by receiving in euros, a currency more valued than the real. Furthermore, the team wants to open more doors to the European market and create a showcase for young people transitioning from academy to professional. According to Rodolfo Landim, players who play in Europe are 20% more expensive than those from South America.
It is worth remembering that two Mais Querido players were recently signed by Leixões. Defender Gabriel Noga played for the Portuguese team on loan and recently transferred permanently. Furthermore, Werton was also sold for 1 million euros (R$5.8 million).

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.
Expected values with PixBet:
The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:
The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.
According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.
The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.
Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.
Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .

Flamengo has gained a high-speed "reinforcement." Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel received a club shirt autographed by Zico , the greatest idol in the club's history. The delivery took place last Monday (11), during the opening dinner of Rio Innovation Week.
Vettel, who retired from Formula 1 in 2022, is in Brazil to participate in the event that discusses technology and innovation with a focus on sustainability, a cause he embraced even before leaving the track . The event also features other athletes, such as gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who represents Flamengo .
Vettel isn't the only driver to wear the Sacred Mantle. Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, currently in Formula 1, appeared wearing the Flamengo jersey in a photo before his debut in the category. At the time, he had won a race in Austria in Formula 2.
On the current Formula 1 grid, Max Verstappen is a Vasco fan due to the influence of his father-in-law, three-time champion Nelson Piquet . Meanwhile, British driver Lando Norris received a Palmeiras jersey in 2023 and has adopted the jersey as his trademark ever since.
Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Internacional. The match will be at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã . The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo (open TV), ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
