Entenda como funciona o acordo do Palmeiras com a WTorre na divisão de receitas do Allianz Parque

MatériaMais Notícias

da realsbet: Na última quinta-feira, veio a público a informação de que o Palmeiras cobra na Justiça quase R$ 130 milhões da WTorre referentes às receitas que a empresa não têm repassado ao clube pela exploração do Allianz Parque. Segundo a notícia trazida primeiramente pelo GE e confirmada pelo LANCE!, o Verdão pensa até em acionar a esfera criminal para ter acesso ao valor. No entanto, não é apenas esse o ponto de divergência, nem a única receita compartilhada nessa parceria.

Desde novembro de 2014 teve início o período de 30 anos no qual a WTorre terá o direito de explorar a utilização do Allianz Parque, que foi construído no clube social da Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, no lugar do Estádio Palestra Itália. Somente depois dessas décadas é que o Verdão poderá administrar todas as receitas geradas pela arena. Enquanto isso, há uma divisão em contrato.

da apostaganha: Em relação ao aluguel do estádio para eventos, além das receitas com estacionamento, lojas e lanchonetes, o Palmeiras tem um percentual definido que cresce gradativamente a cada cinco anos. Atualmente, o Alviverde tem direito a 25% da arrecadação do Allianz Parque com esses itens. Veja:

Nos 5 primeiros anos da inauguração – 20% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 5 até os 10 anos da inauguração (atualmente) – 25% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 10 até os 15 anos da inauguração – 30% fica com o Palmeiras

Dos 20 até os 25 anos da inauguração – 40% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 25 até os 30 anos da inauguração – 45% fica com o Palmeiras

Quando o assunto é naming rights do estádio, cadeiras e camarotes, a divisão é diferente. Nesses casos o Verdão tem percentuais menores a receber diante do que está previsto em acordo. Confira:

Nos 5 primeiros anos da inauguração – 5% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 5 até os 10 anos da inauguração (atualmente) – 10% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 10 até os 15 anos da inauguração – 15% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 15 até os 20 anos da inauguração – 20% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 20 até os 25 anos da inauguração – 25% fica com o Palmeiras
Dos 25 até os 30 anos da inauguração – 30% fica com o Palmeiras

São essas receitas acima que o Palmeiras alega não ter recebido da construtora desde 2015, segundo ano do estádio. Segundo o clube argumentou para a Justiça, a WTorre reconhece em seus relatórios que o acordo prevê o pagamento desses valores. Dessa forma, o Verdão já tem ganho de causa em segunda instância e espera a execução judicial da dívida de R$ 127.972.784,97.

Mas não são apenas esses os repasses que estão incluídos na parceria. Quando o Palmeiras precisa jogar fora da arena por conta de shows ou eventos no Allianz Parque, a WTorre teria de pagar 50% do valor bruto da receita do jogo que precisou ser feito em outro estádio. Por exemplo: o duelo com o Cerro Porteño, no Morumbi, rendeuR$ 2.378.284,50 brutos. Assim, a construtora teria de repassar cerca R$ 1,2 milhão ao Alviverde. No entanto, isso também não tem acontecido.

A discussão, porém, não é tão simples. Isso porque há um entendimento diferente de cada uma das partes sobre esse item do contrato. Esse, aliás, é um dos temas que estão na esfera arbitral da Justiça, na qual alguns acordos foram tentados, mas nada ainda foi resolvido. Essa estagnação na arbitragem acaba pausando algumas outras discussões sobre melhorias e mudanças na arena.

>Palmeiras cobra valor milionário de receitas do Allianz Parque que não foram repassadas ao clube

Vale destacar que as receitas dos jogos são 100% do Palmeiras. Esse valor tem ficado com o clube sem maiores problemas. Acontece que as demais ocorrências de falta de pagamento, desentendimentos na Justiça e afins, geram uma insatisfação interna. Não faz muito tempo, segundo apurou o LANCE!, as partes pareciam caminhar para um consenso sobre as divergências no contrato. Isso tudo voltou algumas casas com os acontecimentos mais recentes.

Ainda, de acordo com a apuração da reportagem, nenhuma das partes considera romper as relações totalmente ou tomar medidas mais drásticas quanto a exploração do Allianz Parque. A ideia da ala mais pacificadora é aparar as arestas, nem que seja acionando a Justiça, como tem sido feito. Mas nem os mais otimistas acreditam que a solução será tão breve quanto já pareceu.

Aston Villa ready to spend £75m to sign star who has scored at Villa Park

da jogodeouro: Aston Villa are ready to splash £75m on a player who has already scored against them at Villa Park this season, according to a new report.

Aston Villa subs make the difference against Southampton

da pinup bet: Villa made history over the weekend as they beat Southampton 3-0 at Villa Park to continue their charge towards Champions League qualification next season.

For the first time in Premier League history, three substitutes scored in one game, with Ollie Watkins, Donyell Malen and John McGinn coming off the bench to find the net for Unai Emery’s side in the second period.

Watkins first produced a superb volleyed finish to lob Saints keeper Aaron Ramsdale in the 73rd minute, before Malen then hammered home Morgan Rogers’ through-ball with aplomb just six minutes later.

In added time, McGinn then slotted in Marco Asensio’s saved penalty – his second of the afternoon – to complete the scoring and move Villa back to within just one point of fourth-placed Manchester City.

He’s a wanted man…

ByTom Cunningham Apr 12, 2025

Speaking after the game, Emery was full of praise for both those we started the game, and those that came on to make an impact.

“The first half we didn’t concede transitions,” said the Spaniard. “We were dominating but we didn’t have many chances to score. The second half the game plan was the same and with the fast players we can add to try and push more and more and we did. It was a fantastic 90 minutes. The subs had a very good impact.”

Aston Villa ready to spend big on Wolves star Cunha

Villa and NSWE made some serious moves in the January transfer window, signing Malen on a permanent deal from Borussia Dortmund and completing loan moves for Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Axel Disasi.

Despite significantly bolstering their attacking line just months ago, however, Villa aren’t quite yet content with their options up-top.

According to reports in Spain, the Villans are keen to complete a summer move for Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, and are willing to pay as much as £75 million for his services.

The Brazilian has been Wolves’ star player this season, playing a vital role in their likely Premier League survival, scoring 13 goals – including one at Villa Park back in September – and registering four assists.

The report states that while Villa are keen, so are a number of other clubs, including Newcastle United, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, meaning acquiring his signature will be no easy feat.

It’s also unclear whether Cunha, who only signed a contract extension at Molineux in February, will be open to leaving the Midlands club. Speaking about Cunha earlier this season, Wolves manager Vitor Pereira described him as a “special” talent.

“Matheus Cunha is a player, in my opinion, who can reach high standards in this league. I hope not [elsewhere] because we need him.”

Warner's Test retirement could lead to batting order reshuffle

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has hinted that replacing David Warner may not come down to a straight like-for-like opening batter with a suggestion the order could be reshuffled to accommodate Cameron Green.Green lost his place for the final Ashes Test at The Oval and is expected to remain outside the XI when the Pakistan series starts next month, but McDonald reinforced that he remains a “generational” talent and there is a belief he won’t be out of the side for long.Providing injuries don’t crop up during the Pakistan series – and there remain some question marks over the workload on Mitchell Marsh’s body – the first vacancy could arrive following Warner’s Test retirement which he has earmarked for the SCG Test in early January.Related

  • Warner on track for Sydney farewell while Marsh and Green both named in Test squad

It has been widely assumed that his replacement would come from one of Cameron Bancroft, Marcus Harris or Matt Renshaw, but McDonald referenced previous occasions when an Australia top order has been reshaped with players taking on new roles.”What does Cam Green’s future look like in the Test team? Is it a matter of waiting for Mitch to finish or could there be another spot that opens up over time?” McDonald told SEN radio. “He has batted at six for most of his Test cricket, but he has been a fantastic number four for WA and averages close to 50 in Shield cricket.”There is always the idea that you can potentially shift the order to make room to put your best six batters, or what you see as best six batters, in a certain order.”If there was to be a batter moved into a new position for the series against West Indies in January the potential – and simplest – option would be for Marnus Labuschagne to move up one spot, followed by Steven Smith returning to No. 3. A more left-field route could be a promotion for Travis Head although he is so destructive at No. 5 there will likely be reluctance to that.Cameron Green’s Test returns faded this year•Getty Images

“We have seen that in Australian cricket before,” McDonald said. “David Boon went from three to opening. Justin Langer went from three to opening. Shane Watson went from six to opening.”There has been the ability to reshuffle and for that to be successful. But we will leave that to the first Test match in Perth.”Warner is expected to be given his farewell Test series against Pakistan although his selection still needs to be ticked off with the squad likely to be named early next week.Test captain Pat Cummins, who is not a selector, praised Warner as a multiformat great when asked if he deserved a swansong series but added that performance remained highest in the selection criteria. Since 2021, Warner has averaged 28.90 in Tests with one century – the MCG double hundred last season in his 100th appearance.”He’s a great of our game in all formats. So no doubt that’s part of it,” he said. “First and foremost you think of the performance side of things when you are picking a side.”Green, who is currently playing against Queensland in the Sheffield Shield and will line up for the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra, could be included as the spare batter in the first squad of the season. Green averages 33.69 with the bat and 36.03 with the ball after 24 Tests. He scored his maiden century in Ahmedabad earlier in the year, but since then has made 134 runs at 19.14. He has opted not to play BBL this season after a hectic year where he has barely been home and in order to focus on red-ball skills.After the current round of Shield matches, which are the last before the BBL break, Bancroft, Harris and Renshaw will also get another first-class opportunity when they face Pakistan for the PM’s XI.Bancroft has the most impressive numbers for the season, as he did last summer, but Harris has been the regular spare batter in Australia squads over the last 18 months and Renshaw is a versatile player although struggled on his return to the Test side in the middle order earlier this year albeit in tough conditions in India.

European giants reach agreement with "brave" Man Utd ace ahead of £42m deal

da bet7k: As the summer transfer window approaches, Atletico Madrid have already reportedly reached a verbal agreement with a Manchester United star who could now leave in a deal worth £42m.

Man Utd transfer news

da imperador bet: In what has been a trend spanning over 10 years, Manchester United are once again in need of a major overhaul under a new manager.

This time, it’s Ruben Amorim who needs to welcome several fresh faces if he is to stamp his mark on the struggling side that Erik ten Hag left behind. However, unlike in previous tenures, the Red Devils are not in a position to splash the cash so easily.

As INEOS continue their cost-cutting measures, which have not come without controversy, the first thing they must do when the summer arrives is sell any players Amorim does not deem fit to feature in his strongest side – and that could see one star man depart.

According to reports in Spain, Atletico Madrid have now reached a verbal agreement with Alejandro Garnacho and could complete a summer deal worth €50m (£42m).

Man Utd open talks to sign £40m star outscoring Zirkzee & Hojlund combined

He’d be an instant upgrade…

ByTom Cunningham Mar 9, 2025

The Argentinian winger looked destined to follow in Marcus Rashford’s footsteps by departing in the January transfer window amid links to the likes of Chelsea, but eventually stayed put and has since crept back into Amorim’s side.

Nonetheless, he could still decide to leave a sinking ship and a manager whose system simply does not accommodate wingers when the summer arrives. United, meanwhile, could commence a summer of sales by showing Garnacho the door.

"Brave" Garnacho needs Man Utd exit

There was once a time when leaving Old Trafford seemed an absurd idea, but those days are long gone. Recent history instead tells a damning story of how players can benefit from leaving Manchester United – whether it’s been Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku or more recently, Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Now, Garnacho can become the latest to steal the headlines away from a club drowning in failure.

Under Ten Hag, the young winger looked destined to become the star of the team, having earned regular praise from the Dutchman, who told reporters: “I love to work with Garnacho.

“He’s a player who needs a challenge, he likes a challenge, he is very brave, he’s very confident, our job is to push him to high levels. He has high potential and now we have to get the potential out, therefore you have to work day by day.”

Now, under Amorim, he has been surplus to requirements at times, in what has been the harshest reality check possible for a player who has strayed from a path towards Old Trafford greatness.

Like others in the past, Garnacho should take hold of an opportunity to leave Manchester United behind this summer.

Harmanpreet aces the chase after bowlers stifle Bangladesh

Miserly bowling spells from Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma, followed by a quick fifty from Harmanpreet Kaur, set up a straightforward seven-wicket win for India over Bangladesh in their first international outing in over four months.Bowling first, India restricted Bangladesh to 114 for 5, with Vastrakar and Deepti drying the runs before Harmanpreet’s unbeaten 35-ball 54 and Smriti Mandhana’s 34-ball 38 sealed victory for the visitors with 22 balls left.

Bangladesh start strong in helpful bowling conditions

With conditions overcast and the surface having a tinge of green, Harmanpreet had no hesitation fielding first. Her decision was vindicated with Vastrakar starting with a maiden, finding generous movement in the air. It was Minnu Mani, one of the two India debutants, who struck the first blow, getting rid of Shamima Sultana. Despite being struck for a four and six off the previous two balls, Mani stuck to her plan of keeping it slow outside off. Sultana went for one shot too many and holed out at deep square leg.Shathi Rani, also on debut for Bangladesh, took down Amanjot Kaur for three successive fours as the hosts reached 46 for 1 after seven overs, starting to look comfortable.

Bowlers squeeze, Shorna shores Bangladesh up

While the quicks got movement, the spinners also found sharp turn and bounce, and Hamanpreet was quick to ring in the changes. Vastrakar roughed Rani up with a few bumpers before sending down a quick one to rattle her stumps. And once Rani fell, the runs slowed down to a trickle. Bangladesh managed the solitary boundary between overs eight to 16, also lost three wickets in the period.Their run-rate came down to five an over, and the captain Nigar Sultana’s needless run-out hurt them further. Deepti was at her miserly best, mixing her lengths and varying her speeds, and got good support from Vastrakar and the two debutants – Mani and B Anusha.Only Shorna Akter’s late blows helped Bangladesh go past the 100-mark. On 6 off 16 at one stage, she struck two sixes to finish unbeaten on a run-a-ball 28, helping Bangladesh creep up to 114 for 5.

Harmanpreet, Mandhana set up India’s easy chase

Defending a small score, Bangladesh couldn’t have asked for a better start with Marufa Akter trapping Shafali Varma, who played all around an in-dipper, in her first over. Jemimah Rodrigues struck a couple of crisp fours but was soon cleaned up by Sultana Khatun for 11.Mandhana and Harmanpreet, however, made sure the Bangladesh celebrations were short-lived. Mandhana got going with a four past point in the second over before slamming Marufa for back-to-back fours either side of the wicket right after Rodrigues’ dismissal. Harmanpreet also cashed in early as India reached 41 for 2 at the end of six overs.The duo made sure to capitalise on every loose ball, of which there were plenty, adding 70 off 55 balls for the third wicket. By the time Mandhana danced down the track only to be stumped for 38, the game was in India’s grasp.Harmanpreet, who was dropped on 24, did the final honours. She opened up her shoulders, smashing Rabeya Khan for a six and four, before bringing up her 11th T20I fifty off just 34 balls in the 17th over with a six over deep midwicket. The very next ball brought about the end of the game with Harmanpreet fittingly finishing things off with a four through midwicket again.

Kashif Ali cashes in as Worcestershire maintain their winning run

Pat Brown claims three wickets to close out 33-run victory

ECB Reporters Network29-May-2023Worcestershire 183 for 7 (Kashif 69) beat Leicestershire 150 for 9 (Patel 42, Brown 3-25) by 33 runsKashif Ali’s maiden half-century in Vitality Blast cricket and the stranglehold of three spinners enabled Worcestershire to maintain their 100 per cent record with a 33-run success over Leicestershire Foxes at New Road.Kashif, the first product of the South Asian Cricket Association to sign a pro contract with a first-class county, again demonstrated his potential with a sparkling 69 as Worcestershire recovered from 30 for 3.Leicestershire reached 70 for 1 in the 10th over and looked to have laid the foundations for a worthy pursuit of a 184 target.But Rapids Captain, Brett D’Oliveira, Michael Bracewell and Usama Mir all picked up two wickets apiece and bowled tightly with combined figures of 11-0-72-6.It means the Rapids have won their opening three games while in contrast the Foxes have been beaten in their opening trio of fixtures.Mir has ended his brief and successful spell at New Road and will return to playing league cricket for Colwyn Bay, but will be replaced by Mitchell Santner who flies in tomorrow after being part of the Chennai Super Kings IPL squad.The Rapids got off to a shaky start after captain D’Oliveira opted to bat.Bracewell lasted only three balls before he was trapped lbw by a full-length ball from Naseem Shah when working to leg.D’Oliveira took a stride down the wicket in the next over from Wiaan Mulder and only succeeded in nicking through to keeper Harry SwindellsJack Haynes immediately went on the offensive with four boundaries in Shah’s second over before was lbw deep in his crease to Mulder.Kashif mixed some wristy strokes with sheer power as he and in-form Adam Hose set about rebuilding the innings.They added 45 when Hose, who had top-scored in the wins over Northamptonshire Steelbacks and Yorkshire Vikings, tried to slice Callum Parkinson over the off side and fell to Colin Ackermann’s catch running back from cover.A pull for six and a delightful cut to the ropes in the same over from Reehan Ahmed enabled Kashif to complete a 33-ball half century.Shah’s return to the attack brought about Kashif’s downfall when he found the hands of deep backward square.In the same over, Ed Pollock was run out first ball by Ackermann’s direct hit from mid on.But Mir profited from being dropped being he had scored to plunder an unbeaten 32 from 15 balls and Ben Cox struck a typically breezy 28 as Worcestershire recovered from their early troubles.When Leicestershire batted, Bracewell struck an early blow when Sol Budinger clubbed a delivery straight to Hose at deep mid wicket.But Nick Welch scored freely and crucially Leicestershire kept wickets in hand, losing only one in the powerplay.D’Oliveira brought himself into the attack and made a double breakthrough in the space of four balls.Welch was pouched at long on by Haynes and Ackermann was bowled via an inside edge and his pad.Rishi Patel hurried to 42 but, having hit the previous two deliveries from Mir for four, he gave his wicket away when charging down the pitch and being stumped.The Pakistan leg-spinner’s final over of his current spell at New Road also yielded a wicket when Arron Lilley was leg before aiming a blow over mid wicket.Mulder and Rehan Ahmed fell cheaply to end Leicestershire’s last hopes and then Pat Brown wrapped up the tail as he showed more encouraging signs of returning to his best form.

'Top five should have used their experience' – Nahida wants batters to step up

“We batted slowly from overs 11 to 15. It would have been easier if we could pick up the singles regularly”

Mohammad Isam11-Jul-2023Bangladesh missed a golden opportunity to beat India for the first time in five years after their batters failed to reach the 96-run target in the second T20I in Dhaka. They lost five wickets for one run in the last eight balls to collapse spectacularly to fall short by eight runs and spinner Nahida Akter felt batters have to take responsibility for the defeat.Nahida, who was part of the strong bowling performance from Bangladesh in the first half, was among those to fall in the four-wicket last over bowled by Shafali Verma. Bangladesh’s chase was on course till captain Nigar Sultana was at the crease. But as soon as she fell in the penultimate over, things fell apart. Nahida said that the batters should have pushed the scoring in the middle overs as the pressure came down on the lower order.”We practiced hard enough,” Nahida said. “Our coach worked with the batters, especially our senior players. Those who bat in the top five should have used their experience. It is the batters’ responsibility as Joty [Nigar] said in the last press meet. They have to show more sincerity. They have to think about what happened, but I am sure they will come back in the next game.Related

  • India pip Bangladesh in spin battle to take series

“We batted slowly from overs 11 to 15. It would have been easier if we could pick up the singles regularly. It put the batters down the order under pressure. Our coach told us to bat in the mould of chasing 140 runs. We cannot slow down. It was a wicket where you had to sweep the ball. It was unfortunately a batting collapse.”Sultana Khatun’s three-wicket haul led the bowling performance. Fahima Khatun returned two wickets while Marufa Akter, Nahida and Rabeya Khan picked up a wicket each. The highlight of Bangladesh’s fielding performance was Shorna Akter’s catch at long-on to dismiss Yastika Bhatia in the ninth over. Shorna ran in hard and dived forward full length to complete the catch. Nahida admired Shorna’s catch but said that they have to be a fitter side.”A great catch like that always encourages the bowlers,” she said. “Shorna took a superb catch. We spoke about saving 10-20 runs in the field. We wanted to take all the catches that came our way. We should have achieved that target today.”We are honestly not as fit as India. We are trying hard to develop our fitness. We have a foreign trainer now. We will focus hard on fitness in our next camp. The board is giving their best facilities. We have to play better. We are behind now. We are trying to bounce back.”
