Flamengo advanced to end the purchase of Sociedade Anônima Desportiva (SAD) of Leixões, from Portugal. The club would take control of Play Fair, which currently owns 56.6% of the shares of the northern Portuguese club. The negotiation is worth around 10 million euros (R$ 60 million). Wallim Vasconcellos, pre-candidate for president of the red-black party, was against the idea.

In post on “Everyone’s focus has to be on the construction of the stadium, a gigantic and complex operation that will materialize the Nation’s dream. Any other project will cause a distraction and could affect the club’s hard-earned financial health”, wrote the pre-candidate.


Deliberative Council is unaware of the operation

A decision on the purchase of Leixões would necessarily have to go through the Club's Deliberative Council. According to Folha de S.Paulo, management's expectation was to complete the operation this Thursday (15). However, CoDe guarantees that no meetings will be held on the date in question. The information is from Mundo Rubro-Negro.

Counselor of Flamengo, Gil Barros corroborates the investigation on social media. Gil guarantees he has no idea about the process, appearing scared by the article published. “It can’t possibly be true. Flamengo did not confirm this transaction. There are 3 possibilities: 1) someone tricking Leixões; 2) someone cheating Flamengo or; 3) the press deceiving everyone”, wrote the advisor in Flamengo asked the President of CoDe, Antônio Alcides, to establish a commission of inquiry to confirm the purchase or advance of amounts. According to journalist Renan Moura, the objective is to investigate possible investments without prior approval from the board.

The members ask, if irregularities are found that violate the club's statute, that the Board of Directors punish those responsible and that there be a summit meeting to provide further explanations. Antônio Alcides, at first, refused to summon the directors because “nothing was received in this Council that concerns the statements made”, stated the president of CoDe.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
