One of Flamengo’s biggest idols in recent years, Bruno Henrique had his contract renewed last Monday (04). As a result, the number 27 will continue wearing the Sacred Jersey until December 2027. Flamengo fans, in fact, approved the player’s contract extension.
In a poll conducted by Coluna do Fla, 88.2% of Flamengo fans approved the renewal of Bruno Henrique’s contract through the end of 2027. On the other hand, 11.8% of the club’s supporters did not agree with extending the striker’s contract.
Yes! In an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista revealed that Bruno Henrique will receive a bust in 2026 at Gávea, the headquarters of Mengão. In this way, the number 27 will join other players already honored by Fla, such as Zico, Júnior, and Adílio.
This year, on Flamengo’s anniversary, we are going to make a bust in honor of Bruno Henrique. I have always believed that tributes should be made while people are still alive. When someone dies, everyone suddenly becomes great, people discover the good things they used to do, and I think we need to change that. We want to honor some red-and-black idols while they are still alive, playing here, in front of the Nation. So at the end of this year, on the anniversary, November 15, we will have a bust of Bruno Henrique to join the group of great red-and-black idols,” said Bap.
Flamengo signed Bruno Henrique in January 2019 after paying R$ 23 million to Santos. Since then, the number 27 has played 359 matches, totaling 114 goals and 63 assists for his teammates.
In addition, Bruno Henrique is one of the biggest winners in Flamengo history, alongside Arrascaeta, with 18 official titles won. Among the main trophies are: three Libertadores, three Brazilian league titles, and two Copa do Brasil titles.
With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo continue preparing for their next match. This Thursday (07), the Rubro-Negro face Independiente Medellín (COL) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Atanasio Girardot Stadium, in the fourth round of the Libertadores.
So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín via YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
