Bap threatens legal action if Leila Pereira relative buys Vasco SAF

What did Bap, Flamengo’s president, say about the possible purchase of Vasco’s SAF?

Bap gave a strong statement about the possible move involving Marcos Lamacchia, Leila Pereira’s stepson, at Vasco. In his remarks, the Flamengo president said that, if the relative of the Palmeiras president buys the SAF of the Cruzmaltino club, he will take legal action over the situation because of the family connection.

“The problem is not that it involves Leila’s stepson, even though the law says that a stepson is a family relationship and that is not allowed. The problem is being married to your wife and wanting to marry another. Under the Civil Code, you need to separate from the first one,” he said, before concluding: “You can’t have one foot in each club. It is still a family relationship. She leaves the club she is at now and joins tomorrow. Or she waits until her term ends and joins Vasco in October next year. You can’t have a foot in two boats, it’s against the law,” said Bap, Flamengo’s president, in an interview with “Charla Podcast.”

WHAT IS THE CASE INVOLVING VASCO’S SAF AND LEILA PEREIRA’S STEPSON, THE PALMEIRAS PRESIDENT?

Marcos Lamacchia is the son of José Roberto Lamacchia and, therefore, Leila Pereira’s stepson. In this way, the relative of the Palmeiras president’s husband has been negotiating the purchase of Vasco’s SAF for months. In total, the businessman has already indicated that he intends to invest R$ 2 billion for 90% of the shares. Finally, the parties are still in talks in an effort to reach common ground.

DO FLAMENGO AND PALMEIRAS HAVE AN OFF-FIELD RIVALRY IN FOOTBALL?

It is important to note that in recent years, Flamengo and Palmeiras have become powerhouses in Brazilian football. As a result, the teams have already faced each other and competed for major titles. Last season, in fact, Mengão got the better of their rival in the Libertadores and in the Brasileirão.

Because of these developments, the clubs also clash over individual issues. As a result, Bap and Leila Pereira have been involved in some off-field disputes, including broadcast rights revenue shares, revenues, and player signings.

HOW IS FLAMENGO DOING IN THE 2026 SEASON?

While Bap comments on off-field matters, the Flamengo squad is on vacation. In short, the red-and-black players will report back on June 19 at the Ninho do Urubu training center. Finally, after activities begin in Rio de Janeiro, the players will hold a mid-season training camp in Portugal.
