The economic rights of Brazilian clubs continue to generate a lot of behind-the-scenes discussion. This time, Leila Pereira ‘blew up’ at Libra after the group offered a multimillion-dollar amount to Flamengo. Because of this situation, the Palmeiras president is threatening to take the club out of the bloc.
According to information published by ‘UOL’, Palmeiras’ Legal Department is already studying possibilities regarding a possible exit from Libra in relation to the contract with Globo. If there is no impact, the São Paulo club intends to leave the organization.
One of Palmeiras’ biggest claims is related to an idea from Libra, which is trying to distort the objective and, with that, form a single league to negotiate broadcasting rights. Therefore, the green-and-white team understands that under this model, its own interests will not be met.
The main reason for Palmeiras’ anger at Libra is that the club does not accept the agreement the bloc made with Flamengo. Under the terms that were set, the Rubro-Negro will receive more than R$ 150 million through 2029. Finally, it is worth noting that Leila Pereira is not thinking about harming the other teams linked to this group. In other words, the green-and-white side may even sign the agreement if the majority accepts it.
While Leila Pereira is ‘outraged’ with Libra, Flamengo is preparing to face Estudiantes (ARG) in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. In short, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (29), in La Plata, Argentina.
As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with on-site coverage from Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air TV), GETV (YouTube) and Paramount (streaming) will broadcast the match.
