Flamengo is in a prominent position in the dispute to sign left-back Alex Sandro. The player's staff sees the Rio club as the main candidate to guarantee the arrival of the athlete, who is currently without a club after leaving Juventus. The behind-the-scenes movement has been intense, with important Flamengo figures working actively to complete the agreement.

David Luiz, Filipe Luís and coach Tite have played fundamental roles in this process. They are using their influence and personal connections to convince Alex Sandro to opt for Flamengo. The close relationship between those involved and the player is one of the factors that puts the club ahead in the race for his signature.


David Luiz, who already played with Alex Sandro in the Brazilian national team, has been in frequent contact with the side. He has reinforced the benefits of joining Flamengo, emphasizing the club's structure, the competitiveness of the squad and the possibility of competing in important titles, such as the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship.


FLAMENGO HAS NEW DIRECTION IN NEGOTIATIONS

Filipe Luís, another veteran of Flamengo and also a left-back, he has spoken directly with Alex Sandro, highlighting the opportunity to share the position with a colleague of a very high level. This approach has been seen as one of Flamengo's differentiators, offering Alex Sandro not only an advantageous contract, but also a high-performance environment, where he could continue to compete at a high level, despite being in a South American championship.


Tite, Flamengo coach and former coach of the Brazilian team, where he worked with Alex Sandro, is also involved in the negotiations. Tite has a positive history with the player and is using this as an asset to convince him to join the club. He has argued that, under his command, Alex Sandro will have ideal conditions to maintain his level of play and, who knows, even be remembered in future calls for the national team, depending on his performance.

PRAISE FOR GABIGOL AND DUDU

Among the most experienced players, the former striker mentioned Dudu, from Palmeiras, and Gabigol, from Mais Querido. Edmundo made a point of praising the strong personality and technical quality of both, although he highlighted that each one has a different playing style.


"Dudu is one of the players I like to watch. He plays Palmeiras' number 7, which makes me identify a little with him. Gabigol, from Mengão, is an athlete with a strong personality, very confident in himself, although he has a different style than me, he did some things on the field. which I also did, perhaps even more intensely", commented Edmundo, with good humor.


A CAREER MARKED BY TITLES AND CONTROVERSYEdmundo, also known as "Animal", made history at major Brazilian football clubs, such as Vasco, Flamengo, Palmeiras and Corinthians. His career is marked by moments of genius and an explosive temperament, which often placed him at the center of controversies.

The Flamengofaces significant challenges in trying to build its new stadium in the Gasmetro region of Rio de Janeiro. The land designated for the work houses a large infrastructure belonging to Naturgy, a multinational company responsible for distributing piped gas in the state. The removal of these facilities could generate costs estimated at around R$100 million, an amount that will have to be borne by the CRF. The information is from the O Globo portal. 

At the end of August, Naturgy informed the Energy and Basic Sanitation Regulatory Agency of the State of Rio (Agenersa) about the impasse involving the land. The area located at Avenida São Cristóvão, nº 1,200, includes warehouses, laboratories and a Regulation and Measurement Station, essential for the supply of gas to the North, South and Center zones of Rio de Janeiro, serving approximately 400 thousand consumers.

Agenersa requested that the concessionaire present, by mid-September, detailed reports on the costs and time required to relocate these structures. It is estimated that complete removal will require an additional investment of R$ 100 million.


NEGOTIATIONS WITH CITY HALL AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Naturgy representatives have held informal conversations with City Hall from Rio to clarify the situation. During these dialogues, it became clear that the club will be responsible for the expenses related to the removal of the facilities. One of the annexes to the land purchase and sale contract stipulates that Flamengo must bear the extra costs, although the document does not determine a maximum value.


RISKS INVOLVED IN STRUCTURE REMOVAL

In addition to the high cost, the removal of gas installations presents significant risks. The concessionaire warned of the possibility of accidents and gas shortages in large areas of the city, such as Greater Tijuca and the South Zone, if the operation is not carried out correctly. The gas pipeline that passes through the site operates at high pressure, which makes the operation delicate and risky both for the continuity of the service and for the safety of workers.

Although he is not considered to start playing, Plata will be available on the bench and could make his debut during the second half, according to the technical committee's assessment during the game. DES PREMIERE STARS 

Alex Sandro's arrival at Flamengogenerated great expectations among fans. The left-back, who built a solid career in Europe, especially in Italian football, where he played for Juventus for many years, is seen as a key player in strengthening the Red and Black defense. His international experience, both for clubs and for the Brazilian national team, is considered a great asset for Tite's team, which seeks to provide more balance to the defensive system.


Ayrton Lucas' suspension made room for Alex Sandro, and his debut could not come at a more crucial time. The classic against Vasco is always a match of great rivalry and pressure, and the presence of a player with Alex Sandro's CV promises to give greater security to the red and black defense. The expectation is that he will contribute not only with defensive solidity, but also with quality in supporting the attack, one of his main characteristics in his international career.
