Flamengo eyeing Vasco SAF takeover, warns of conflict of interest | OneFootball

Flamengo is closely monitoring the possibility of the SAF acquisition of Vasco by Marcos Faria Lamacchia. Behind the scenes, the red-and-black board sees a potential conflict of interest in the negotiation, since Marcos is the son of José Roberto Lamacchia, husband of Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras.

At Gávea, the topic has generated great dissatisfaction. Flamengo executives believe that if the deal goes through, Palmeiras and Vasco could mutually benefit in strategic situations within Brazilian football, such as signings, player exchanges, and even in more sensitive contexts, like title disputes or battles against relegation.

Given this scenario, the Rio club is considering the possibility of taking legal action to try to block the transaction, should they identify any loophole in the legislation that would allow them to challenge the deal.

Despite Flamengo's concerns, the matter does not cause apprehension among those involved in the negotiation. Leila Pereira is following the behind-the-scenes process and appears calm and confident regarding the legality of the agreement. The same stance is taken by Pedrinho, president of Vasco, and by José Roberto Lamacchia, who believe there is no legal impediment to the completion of the SAF sale.
