Flamengo is approaching an important step towards getting its own stadium project off the ground. There are two possibilities on the radar for purchasing the area in the port area of Rio de Janeiro: Caixa agreeing to negotiate the location or City Hall expropriating it. In this context, the club wants to increase the area acquired to also build a parking lot.
The club decided to invest in two plots of land that will total 104 thousand square meters in the Gasometer area. One of them has 87 thousand square meters, for the construction of the stadium, and the other has approximately 17 thousand square meters, which would be transformed into a parking lot. Both belong to the investment fund managed by Caixa.
The meeting last Monday put Caixa's commitment to presenting the final value this Friday on the table. Flamengo believes it will receive a fair price to begin purchase negotiations, which should continue over the next few months. The tendency is for there to be no update in the next few days, as President Rodolfo Landim and his colleagues are traveling abroad. Conversations are expected to be resumed after they return to Brazil.
A recent report from the Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas (FIPE) valued the 87,000 square meter plot of land at R$240.5 million. Caixa, however, understands that the value is much higher and points to the appreciation in the port area region. For the bank, the site is worth approximately R$400 million. The support of Rio City Hall, which defends the red-black project to enhance the region, is an asset for Flamengo in negotiations with Caixa. Mayor Eduardo Paes stated that he will expropriate the area if there is no reduction in the amounts requested from the club.
The expropriation of private land by the Executive Branch is provided for in the Constitution. There are a series of legal requirements for this, but in short, the measure is possible as long as there is public interest and payment of prior, fair, cash compensation. To speed up the negotiations, deputy Pedro Paulo, an ally of Eduardo Paes and Flamengo in this negotiation with Caixa, has insisted that the priority is for the federal institution to convey the real value of the land, leaving the Cepac discussions for another time. .
Cepac (Certificate of Additional Construction Potential) is a title that gives the builder of a property the possibility of changing the urban parameters established by the City Hall in an Urban Consortium Operation (OUC). At the beginning of the week, Paes stated, via Twitter, that the City Hall had committed to transferring the CEPACs and that it had forgiven Caixa's R$4 billion debt.

This Thursday (18), Flamengo begins the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores against Estudiantes, at Maracanã. On the eve of the confrontation, the president and idol of the Argentine club, Juan Sebastián Verón, spoke about the expectations for the duel against Rubro-Negro.
During an institutional event in La Plata, Verón highlighted the financial difference between the teams , with Mengão being the team with the highest market value among the tournament participants, but recalled Estudiantes ' tradition of overcoming opponents considered favorites.
Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"
"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.
In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan . In 2007, he returned to Estudiantes and was a key player in their 2009 Copa Libertadores victory.
Verón retired in 2014, but returned to the field three years later as a player-president . His last official match came in 2017, against Botafogo, also in the Copa Libertadores, during the group stage.
