According to VSR, recent decisions by the board of Flamengo have generated intense debates in the WhatsApp groups of the club's advisors. The topic under discussion is the sale of Brasileirão broadcasting rights for the period from 2025 to 2029, with a contract that, according to information, would result in an annual loss of 80 million reais compared to the previous contract.
The question that has moved the councilors is how the current board, led by Landin, came to sign an agreement that would result in such a financial deficit for the club. Many members are questioning the reasons that led to the decision to waive the guaranteed minimum established in the previous contract, especially in a context where the TV rights market is hotter than ever.
MANAGERS "EXCITED" BEHIND THE SCENES
The contract, whose vote is scheduled for next Monday, has generated concern among councilors, who see it as a potential threat to the financial balance of Flamengo. The possibility of rejecting the contract is not ruled out, since there is a significant number of members dissatisfied with the terms proposed by the board.
The dissatisfaction of the directors reflects not only the concern with the club's finances, but also a demand for transparency and accountability on the part of management. Many wonder whether the negotiation was conducted in the best possible way and whether there was a complete analysis of the potential long-term financial impacts.
In addition, there are those who question the competence of the current administration in dealing with such sensitive issues regarding broadcasting rights, especially in a scenario of strong competition and appreciation of these assets in the sports market. The vote on the contract promises to be a crucial moment for Flamengo, as the board members' decision will have significant repercussions not only on the financial aspects, but also on the club's image and future.

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .
Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
