Wants to be Flamengo: Atlético-MG maps 2030 plan, Mengão the goal | OneFootball

Galo 2030 Project is already in place and mentions Flamengo

In an attempt to become a major club, Atlético-MG has put together a project aimed at the coming seasons. This Wednesday (25), the anniversary of the Minas Gerais club, the Galo 2030 Project was presented, in which the club dreams of reaching the level of Flamengo.

— No, not yet (making an investment, in amounts close to Palmeiras and Flamengo in the mid-year transfer window). I hope that in a year, a year and a half, we’ll be doing an interview thinking about a signing of that financial magnitude. That is not our reality today. Flamengo and Palmeiras have a financial reality different from all the other teams in Brazil. We are working to get very close to them — said Atlético-MG SAF CEO Pedro Daniel.

— We want to be on that top tier. We still aren’t there financially. We will not have a 40-million-dollar investment (in the next window). We have to be more efficient than Flamengo and Palmeiras, for example. Otherwise, we will never compete. They have greater financial strength than we do. That is why our strategies have to be more effective than theirs — he added.

WHAT WILL THE PATH TO REACH FLAMENGO LOOK LIKE?

To become like Flamengo, Atlético-MG will have to face a long road. That is because the Minas Gerais side has debt of R$ 1 billion. The amount, for example, is greater than that of the Rubro-Negro in 2013, when the club’s rebuilding began. At the time, the Most Beloved had a deficit of R$ 750 million.

DO THEY WANT HELP FROM FLAMENGO?

If Atlético-MG wants it, Flamengo can help. After all, the Most Beloved feels at home at Arena MRV. In 2024, the Rubro-Negro won the Copa do Brasil at the venue. In total, there have been four matches at the Minas Gerais club’s home ground, with three wins for Mengão and one draw.
