Flamengo deny R$ 100 million Fatal Model offer, legal action under way | OneFootball

Flamengo said in a statement that there are no talks with Fatal Model over a main shirt sponsorship, adding that its legal department is taking action over false information and unauthorised images of its shirt.

Reports on Sunday claimed the company had lodged an official R$ 100 million offer to become the main shirt sponsor. Those claims were rejected and there are no talks on the terms described.

Legal steps are being taken over the dissemination of false information and the use of imagery featuring a brand that is not an official partner. A commitment to transparency and to existing partners was reaffirmed, and any announcements will appear only on the club’s official channels.

The news arrives as Betano’s future at Flamengo is uncertain, after president Lula provisionally suspended the use of sports betting in Brazilian football on Friday 25. Betano, the club’s main sponsor, is barred in the country and pays about R$ 200 million per year.

Flamengo’s players have the weekend off. Their next match is at Santos on 08 October in the Brasileirão, with kick-off at 19:30 Brasília time at Vila Belmiro.
